Dream Journal Emulation

I am unsure exactly when I developed PTSD (albeit I believe C-PTSD is much more accurate in my case, but where I'm from, psychiatrists don't believe in that term...yet) but I've had chronic nightmares since I was still sleeping in a baby crib. With therapy in 2022 I for the first time had a few months of nightmare-free sleep!...It was, sadly, temporary, and as of 27.07.2023 my chronic nightmares have returned, albeit they are less frequent now, and usually less intense than they used to be. Some friends have pointed out the reason I have intensely surreal dreams (non-nightmares) is likely still a result from childhood PTSD. I suppose that is the only positive thing that's ever come out of it. Here you will find future stories about dreams I've had.

Twice or trice I saw a cow run off the cliff, followed by a man, followed by his wife.

They keep coming back to the playground to see skinned animal bodies with just the faces remaining still untouched. Each one discovered is more gruesome than the previous. Then some weeks later, following certain clues given to them by the "artist" of the twisted taxidermy, people enter a cabin where this time it's a human who's been taken apart in a twisted art project style masterpiece. Will be turning this into a story soon, and flesh it out.

Toys that seem to once have been everywhere (trendy at some point), same model every time, yet seemingly no one remembers it, nor their name. It was sold to me recently. Upon flipping it to the side, and if you paid good attention, you'd notice in small hidden letters it reads "/04/2008-2025/ a big event will happen that will change everything you know and care about."

Watching VHS tapes (I guess cameras are inside sewers in this universe...with night vision) of a worker traveling sewers that are very long and maze-like. Panic kicks in as you see some unknown entity inside with them. It gives off a vampire-esque feeling, and its facial expression clearly is not friendly. Its face is like a human's, if it was rotten like a zombie's.

Storm outside, had to rush through a bridge that's falling apart, enter a small green island, into a cabin. The cabin was meant to be a safe shelter however, an entity bursted out through the door, a wolf-man-esque being. Not like a werewolf exactly.

I was being held upside down by a large humanoid figure, who had a bull's head, while someone below me kept talking about something.

This is my earlier childhood memory, my first nightmare. I was enjoying a tea party with Sylvester from Looney Tunes. Upon looking back at him, I realize he has large bug eyes, like a fly's, and he is very hostile towards me. Then a tornado came and swept us all together. I remember then waking up in my wooden baby crib after this nightmare. So I was of extreme young age, yet already experiencing frequent stressful nights. The stress reaction was not a surprise considering the environment I was growing up in.
