I had a nightmare.
In the dream someone was trying to strangle me.
The face of the attacker was blurred like it was shrouded in mist so I couldn't tell who it was.
I tried desperately to shake him off and gripped his wrists but it was to no use. I only felt my consciousness slowly leaving me.
I woke up as I completely lost my consciousness in the dream.
Inadvertently I felt for my neck.
Copious sweat was teeming down my entire body.
If I find some handprints on my neck this will turn into a piece of ghost story - I thought, as I went into the bathroom to take off my clothes. And the moment I looked in the mirror I froze.
They were there.
The vivid purple handprints.
Not on my neck, but on my wrists.

hmm... so she's strangled herself??
O_o
well is that or she is really the killer, but if she is the killer she killed herself.
creepy
This story reminds me of when I woke up with a strange, unexplainable cut that went down along the length of my arm. There were no sharp objects on my bed that could have caused that, it had never happened before, and it hasn't happened again ever since. The cut wasn't even painful or sensitive to touch, which made it even more intriguing.
Another incident I can remember is that my ex-fiancee used to enjoy watching me sleep on webcam, but she would sometimes feel a bit scared because she claimed she could hear somebody breathing close to the microphone, even though there was nobody else in my room apart from me, my bed isn't positioned close to the microphone, and I don't snore. It might have been just microphone noise or sounds coming from outside that she mistook for breathing, but she swore she could tell it apart from sounds coming from outside.
it's creepier that way :D
That's all there is to it.
I wonder who it was?
thus waking her up
if she didn't lose her consciousness in the dream...
she will never wake up
I'm going to be quite busy this month so my replies will be slow and brief! Sorry!
@Time: glad I'm making you happy!
@HN3: Wow, you know things about ninja?
@Diogo: oh my your experience scares me! Just imagining a creepy ghost breathing into the microphone.. oh my. O_o
@Dest: oh! her alter-ego? Interesting.
@Anon: very possible!
@theblackship: a good observation dear!
@Andrack Knive: in that case I wonder whom could she have strangled? hmmm!
@Steeple: I'm glad I was able to add something to your repertoire of ghost stories!
@Princess: (｀・ω・´)” yes I wonder! lol
@ian wili: that's an interesting interpretation, dear! Thank you for that!
Maybe...
I've been wondering why people haven't mention, and maybe they haven't noticed, but you don't need a mirror to look down at your wrists.
I see your point dear, I wondered about the same thing too. Of course you don't "need" a mirror to look down at your writs, but perhaps he just happened to notice his wrists at the time when he was looking into the mirror. Maybe until then he didn't really think about checking his wrists. How about that? :)
You're great that you're learning Japanese. I hope it will all go well.
