Half asleep, in the middle of the night I am alerted by a noise in the
house, I elbow my boyfriend to say that someone is in. It is a big house with a
garden where the bathroom door leads to the private grounds. We both get up and
check the area to soon realise that the back door is open. It is pitch dark outside
and we can’t see anyone. Walking back in, we lock the door, leave the bathroom
light on and return to the room. Soon after, as we both discuss that I must have dreamt,
the shadow moves through the bathroom
light and finally appears in the room, passing through the door. He looks a bit
like an African witch doctor, in his 50’s, black, tall and thin. His body is covered
in white mud and he is wearing brown shorts, his face is painted with black,
white and red stripes. He appears to be a really strong spirit who can read
into my thoughts. He is mumbling something that sounds like a black magic
mantra and as he stares into my eyes he realises that I was expecting him.
As he
launches himself towards me like a ray of light, I immediately punch him and he
transforms into a small wooden vase with a lid. I open it and inside there’s a
transparent bag, I throw it against the walls of the room in a circular
movement, almost like a ritual, always holding the bag and rotating around with
it. Then I ask my boyfriend if he can bury that little pot in the garden but
mark the spot as from those seeds a spell will grow and I might need to follow
up on that.
I wake up on the couch feeling a little confused, ‘wow. That was a crazy hallucination’. A dream within a dream, very odd to fall into such a deep slumber after
dinner without even realising that I was falling asleep.
‘Who’s that man? Who’s the boyfriend as I don’t own one’ what will grow
from those seeds?’
While I am writing this entry in the living room, I hear a noise in the corridor of something breaking. My heart starts beating fast and it takes me a minute to react. Eventually I stand up and in the corridor lies a flower pot that fell from the shelf. I stare at it for a moment and finally lift it up and clean the soil from the carpet.
I must have put it too close to the edge when I watered it, that is the only reasonable explanation I can find.
