The forest (self-induced nightmare)

Standing on a wide concrete path looking out into the foreboding forest, I say to the others: "Don't go into the mists, amirite? Heh heh..." Then I turn around and they're all gone and I'm alone. I have only myself to blame for this because I consciously thought to myself, "hey wouldn't it be funny if when I turned around they all disappeared?" And my dream-brain made it happen, so there I was.

A girl and boy came walking down the path. The boy seemed scared, asked me to guide him to safety. He touched my shoulder and kept his hand there because apparently it's the only way to avoid getting separated via the mists. He seemed relieved to have an excuse to get away from the girl.

The girl had something creepy about her. She was overly joyful and really really eager to touch me, cackling like crazy while running towards me. Something wasn't right so as she came running over to touch my shoulder I tried to run away but of course my dream legs were too slow and she ended up touching me. This of course gave me the dreaded "nightmare ticklish feeling" in my armpit and I woke up about 30 seconds later.

After waking up it occurred to me that none of this would've happened if I hadn't made everyone disappear in the beginning.
