Have You Ever Killed Gremlins In Your Dreams?

How's it going lurkers? The other day, I had this really odd dream. Considering the timing, it was a bit strange. 

Those, who have been subscribed to me for the last 2 years already know, that I published a blog about Gremlins and its audiobooks.

As I was saying, I had descended our basement stairs (I haven't visited our basement, since the last days of The Bush Administration). 

A shadow of strange-looking ears flopped around with highly pitched cackling. I peeped around the corner of our basement and noticed there were Gremlins. They turned our basement into a recreational lounge!

Staring with both eyes, I did a double-take, while asking myself, "What the hell? Am I hallucinating or something?!" 

This led to yours truly grabbing 1 of our many brooms. My family will tell you, that I am always killing bugs (mostly spiders) with a broom. 

LOTS of damage can be done with a thick piece of wood and twigs, when you put enough force into it.

After putting on my gym shoes and grabbing a broom, I ran downstairs yelling, "GET UP! GET YOUR UGLY ASS UP, RIGHT NOW!!!" There was 1 Gremlin lounging on his bean bag, while giving me a cocky look.

"Don't give me that look. You know what I said just now. Get up or I'll make you."  Because he wanted to be a defiant demon, I whacked him upside the head with my broom.

Out of nowhere, another Gremlin threw a knife at me from the side. He didn't stab me. However, he did graze the side of my face. 

"This is the part where you start running. That knife just costed you your life."  That smug, piece of shit Gremlin, that was lounging on his bean bag finally got up and wanted to fight me.

"Oh, now you wanna do somethin', huh?" I took the end of the broomstick and jabbed him in the eyes with it, as he squealed.

Next thing I knew, the knife throwing Gremlin jumped on my back. I bit his slimy hand so hard, that he bled profusely. 

Then, I crushed it and began using him as a shield for the other Gremlin, that wanted to fight me.

The pompous lounger ended up killing his jumping friend. When he killed the jumper by accident, I chased that lounger around the house, until I was finally able to break my broom in 1/2, stake him, and force the broom through his throat.

Finally, I woke up that afternoon (The daytime's my Vampire Sleeping Hours) and asked myself, "What the fuck was that all about?"  I soon remembered that it is June.

June 8, 2015, will officially be 31 years, since the release of the movie, Gremlins. 6 days later, I will be turning 33.

Talk about strange! I'll leave you with these interesting facts:

Mogwai is an ambiguous word. In Cantonese, it can mean "monster," "evil spirit," "devil," or "demon." 

According to what I recently learned on Wikipedia, Mogwais [魔怪] exist in Chinese folklores. 

Supposedly, they are harm-inflicting demons, that reproduce during the mating seasons.

A Mogwai's reproduction is normally triggered by rain. The rain is suppose to denote "rich and full times ahead." 

Mogwais can also personify ghosts of unrelated family members, that swear vengeance on mortals, who caused them anguish when they were still alive. 

Learning can sometimes be so very interesting. It's amazing what we learn.

So, have you ever killed Gremlins in your dreams? What are your thoughts about this?

Pre-Teen Sociopaths Stab Friend, Then Blame Slender Man For It

How's it going lurkers? What I'm about to tell you will either anger, or frighten you and/or will possibly make you a skeptic.

On Saturday, I had a disturbing dream. It was like a flashback to 1994, when I was ONLY  12 years old living in our previous house in Wauwatosa, WI. 

In bed, I felt someone STABBING me with the sound of a young girl screaming as if she was being MURDERED. Blood splattered across the ceiling. 

Feeling all the impact of the stabbing and hearing the girl's scream, I woke up.

On Monday, I turned on my TV. There was "late-breaking news" about two 12-year-old girls from Waukesha, WI, who brutally stabbed their so-called "friend" 19 TIMES!!!

Our local news reporters considered the details "too graphic" for TV.

Hearing the appalling news report made my heart sink from shock. It was TOO similar to the dream I had on Saturday. Online, I read more about the grisly stabbing.

FOX 6 Now: Two girls accused of plotting to kill friend, victim stabbed 19 times

Could the grisly details be an EERIE coincidence or a premonition in the form of a disturbing dream?

I could've had another premonition in the form of a horrific dream. Before any patronizing skeptics ask, "Do you REALLY believe in premonitions?"  The answer is YES.

I could sit here behind my laptop and explain every premonition, death warning, and near death experience, that I've had as well as explain other people's experiences, but I won't.

Besides, I know those, who don't believe in ANYTHING (whether it be a higher power OR documented facts with research to support my claims), would rather deny, minimize the truth, and patronize me with their insults.

Our reporters here in WI reported, that those evil 12-year-olds frequented the website, CREEPYPASTA.COM, since last December.

It's so typical, that the media and brainwashed ignorami for adults are quick to demonize a HORROR website.

You may consider this an eerie coincidence with what I am about to tell you. Last December, I ALSO visited Creepypasta out of curiosity, since I am a Horror author. Because I simply loathe copycats and Fan Fiction, I never joined that site.

According to Wikia:

"Creepypastas are essentially internet horror stories, passed around on forums and other sites to disturb and frighten readers. The name "Creepypasta' comes from the word 'copypasta,' an internet slang term for a block of text that gets copied and pasted over and over again from website to website. Creepypastas are sometimes supplemented with pictures, audio and/or video footage related to the story, typically with gory, distorted, or otherwise shocking content."

You can read more about Creepypasta at Creepypasta Wiki: What Is Creepypasta?

In a nutshell, Creepypasta is a Fictitious Horror Site in which Horror fans ages 18 AND OLDER submit their "work." Therefore, no one under the age of 18 should be visiting the site.

Those 12-year-old sociopaths are using an Internet Horror Urban Legend about "Slender Man" as their scapegoat for stabbing their "friend" 19 times. Isn't that typical?

During high school 15 years ago, I predicted that girls would be next to commit school shootings, stabbings, massacres, etc. Then, use entertainment as their scapegoats.

As those sociopathic killers in training use entertainment as a scapegoat for trying to murder their "friend," they make people's lives harder. This especially applies to us as entertainers.

Killers do NOT care about the fact, that they are ruining people's lives, including their own. They ESPECIALLY do not care about ruining entertainment.

Entertainers suffer from the guilt of other people's deaths accompanied by lawsuits and smear campaigns.

While sane people share the same hobbies as said sociopaths and those suffering from other mental illnesses and/or behavioral problems, we are all condemned, demonized, and ostracized for our hobbies.

Whenever a shooting, bombing, attempted murder, or some other kind of atrocity and tragedy happens, entertainment and entertainers are instantly to blame.

Horror used to be a niche genre. Decades ago, Anti-Horror fans always condemned and demonized the genre and its fanbase. This can especially be said for the Slasher Horror sub-genre and its fans.

The crimes in Slashers can actually happen in real life compared to crimes committed by Vampires, Werewolves, Zombies, and other creatures found in various folklores.

Media watchdog groups, self-righteous "political activists," as well as religious and "family friendly" zealots continue to demonize entertainment, including the Horror genre for the "extreme violence."

Throughout the 1980's and early '90s, the Slasher Horror sub-genre was repeatedly condemned and demonized.

Critics, media watchdog groups, Christian zealots, and miltant mommies demonizing the sub-genre caused filmmakers to automatically send their movies directly to video, which helped contribute to the overall Horror genre's decline.

It was not until Wes Craven's SCREAM in 1996, that the Slasher sub-genre was said to be "reborn."

In the 21st Century, Horror is more acceptable than it was 2-3 decades ago. When I was still in college, Hollywood began advertising PG-13 rated Horror.

If memory serves me right, some of them were remakes, which had their original ratings changed from an R to PG-13.

Parents/guardians, teachers/professors, local, national, and international news are sensational at condemning, demonizing, and framing entertainment, as the crime rate increases by the seconds.

Entertainment is condemned and demonized for every massacre, atrocity, and tragedy, regardless if said adults and children are sane or sociopathic killers.

Adults refuse to acknowledge their irresponsibilities in educating children by quickly accusing entertainment, as the media instigates more hysteria.

The more local, national, and international news heavily publicize massacres, the more copycat murderers and terrorists feel the need to upstage the previous mass killings.

Ignorami will condemn and demonize an entertainer for somebody choosing to jump off a bridge. Heaven forbid the village idiot chose to jump off a bridge and was of "sound mind!" Slandering an entertainer or entertainment in general sounds better!

Ugh! Talk about some Short Bus Riders.

Honestly, more entertainers should start fighting harder against careless parents, teachers, and divisive media outlets by slapping them with lawsuits for slander.

Why should entertainers and sane fans have to suffer the negative repercussions for sociopathic serial killers?

As a Horror/Crime Thriller author, I find the negativity bias to be I highly discouraging and infuriating. The current story, that I keep backburning, is a Horror Story.

Having to constantly hear and read slanderous remarks from haters of both genres sometimes discourages me as an author.

I don't want or need my name and reputation sullied over sociopaths blaming me for their choices to commit murder.

If parents/guardians and educators pay more attention to children with severe mental and/or behavior disorders, there would be less crime.

Nobody, including self-righteous politicians can bring up the topic of "gun control" because those serial killers in the making from Waukesha, WI used KNIVES instead. That's the only positive to this recent atrocity. 

However, I do somewhat give those 12-year-old girls credit. Rather than using the stereotypical guns or making bombs, they used a kitchen knife to stab their so-called "friend" 19 times. 

Sociopaths like those 2 girls are exactly why abortions and the death penalty exist.

Since they are mature enough to attempt murder on their "friend," they are old enough to be fried in electric chairs. Yes, you read that last sentence correctly.

Put those 12-year-old sociopaths in electric chairs!

I'm not stupid enough to believe in an online boogeyman as their scapegoat for stabbing their "friend" 19 times.

Do you agree with me? What are your thoughts? Let me know what you think!

Vampire Apocalypse, Doppelgangers, & Alternate Universe

This blog was originally published on March 14, 2014 at Horror-Punks.com.

How's it going creepers? On Wednesday, I briefly mentioned on Stalkbook Facebook that I had this crazy dream. I dreamt that I was back at my 2nd college, UW-Parkside.

In the dream, a vampire apocalypse and some incredibly bizarre, alternate universe simultaneously existed. Everyone had doppelgangers, including yours truly. 

This alternate universe somewhat resembled that old Buffy: The Vampire Slayer episode, "Doppelgangland." 

If you have ever watched "Doppelgangland," you will understand what I am about to discuss. However, if you have never seen "Doppelgangland," it's from Season 3: Episode 16. 

"Doppelgangland" was a continuation of Season 3: Episode 9's "The Wish." It has been years, since I last watched Buffy: The Vampire Slayer. If memory serves me right, "The Wish" episode was right after Cordelia caught Xander cheating on her with Willow.

After Cordelia and Xander had both split up, she met Anyanka a.k.a. "Anya," who was a vengeance demon (she later became Xander's fiancee). Anyanka granted wishes to scorned women, typically. 

Cordelia wished that Buffy never attended Sunnydale High School and her wish triggered an alternate universe.

In the alternate universe, The Master rose from the dead. Then, vampires started to over populate and dominate Sunnydale. Gradually, Giles discovered a way to reverse Cordelia's wish by destroying Anya's necklace. Anya's destroyed necklace resulted in her losing her vengeance demon powers.

Eventually, Anyanka re-appeared in "Doppelgangland." Anya tricked Willow into assisting her in a failed attempt to recover her necklace and tried regaining her vengeance demon powers through magic spells.

Their failed attempt at the spell transported Willow's vampire doppelganger to Sunnydale, where they both met each other.

Returning to Wednesday's dream, there was a vampire apocalypse and we all had our own doppelgangers at UW-Parkside. When I saw my doppelganger, I RAN like hell. 

In fact, there was a major stampede. Everyone on campus ran from their own doppelgangers. Some of us instantly climbed the campus walls and buildings. 

Some people would've assumed that a shooting happened on campus (we actually did have a campus shoot-out, during Thanksgiving Break 2002). I don't know whether to consider this disturbing dream to be a so-called "day terror," bad omen, OR simply just a fucked up dream.

On Wednesday evening, I went onto Dream Moods and read its dream analyses. I searched the words "apocalypse," "doppelganger," "alternate universe," and "vampires."

According to Dream Moods, here is what the dream analyses said:

Apocalypse- "To dream of the apocalypse signifies an emotional and dramatic change taken place within yourself. The dream may also indicate the end of one kind of lifestyle and the beginning of another."

Doppelganger- "To see your own doppelganger in your dream is a reflection of your negative actions. The dream is showing you the consequences of your actions and what you should not do. Alternatively, the dream signifies bad luck, danger, and/or illness.

To dream that you are fighting with your doppelganger means that you are struggling between good and evil and right and wrong. If you kill your own doppelganger, then it indicates that you have successfully repressed certain negative emotions from surfacing."

Universe- "To see the universe in your dream signifies the endless possibilities. You need to look at the overall big picture. Alternatively, the dream brings to your attention that we are all interconnected in some way."

Vampires- "To see a vampire in your dream symbolizes seduction and sensuality, as well as fear and death. The vampire represents contrasting images of civilized nobility and aggression/ferocity. It may depict someone in your waking life whose charm may ultimately prove harmful. Deep down inside, you know that this person is bad for you, yet you are still drawn to her or him. Vampires also sometimes relate to decisions about sex and losing your virginity. Alternatively, to see a vampire suggests that you are feeling physically or emotionally drained. The vampire may also be symbolic of someone who is addicted to drugs or someone in an obsessive relationship.

To dream that you are a vampire signifies that you are sucking in the life energy of others for your own selfish benefit."

You may be wondering, "How do these apply to you, Anna?" 

I'm no dream analysis expert, but I'll take a stab in the dark. When it comes to the apocalypse, I have been upset with quite a few people lately in real life. 

Some refuse to acknowledge that their friends are complete assholes. They will defend their asshole friends, if not justify WHY their friends are total assholes, until they are blue in the face.

I do NOT expect for our mutual friends to choose me over their other friends.

However, I refuse to attend ANY AND ALL social events, which require us to be in each others physical presence. Therefore, I have chosen to social distance myself from certain friends, especially flaky, cheap talking friends.

As for doppelgangers, I keep pondering about my own. Reading that part about my supposed doppelganger being a "bad omen" made me worry about my health. 

I was expecting something bad to physically happen to me. Instead, on Thursday morning around 3 am-ish, my mother had another mild seizure.

I suppose my doppelganger signified some sort of payback for something. I am unsure of what the payback was for but regardless, my mother had another seizure.  

Over these last several years, I have noticed that every time she has a seizure, it is usually before her birthday. My mother was born in late April, so you are welcome to do the math on my doppelganger's significance.

I have no clear idea what the alternate universe represents. Maybe this is saying everyone has a good and evil side to themselves. Otherwise, it could possibly be saying that everybody has a doppelganger somewhere in an alternate universe; Anything is possible.

Last but surely not the least are vampires. Lately, I've been feeling physically and emotionally drained. This is the main reason why I have been struggling to write my latest story, All Of Chastity's Men.

I am somewhat basing this Semi-Fictional Story on scumbag exes and other people's friends from over the years. This includes wanting revenge for being screwed over within these last 3 years. 

I think it is safe to say, that All Of Chastity's Men has a "woman scorned" theme to it with Horror elements.

Meanwhile, I've had obsessive feelings for someone for more than a decade. He is like a drug addiction, that I cannot seem to permanently break. 

Speaking of drug addiction, I have been told by some of his friends that he is a drug addict. Because so many people love to tell lies, especially HIS friends, I don't know how much of it is the truth and how much are complete lies.

A lot of lying, backstabbing, manipulating, and opportunism are involved regarding HIS so-called "friends."

He always has a tendency to stay friends with jealous and petty people. They resent the fact, that I ever had feelings for him rather than for THEM. They also lied to me in the past with their OWN hidden agendas.

How do I know whether or not they are telling me the truth about him and/or about each other? So, based on all this information, what are your thoughts?
