Dreams of Being in the World of Subtle Creatures



Every day I never get tired of listening to the chanting of the holy verses of the Quran and the do'a of the ustad I used to hear. The more progress I feel. Fear no longer haunts me. The pain that I often suffer, or sleep in the time of Maghrib I have never experienced again.


The dreams I've been having lately I believe are closely related to my recovery. The labyrinth that no longer has kuntilanak and has a way out. Or a multi-storey wooden house that usually has a gender also no longer exists. The wooden house did not look as scary as 2.5 months ago.


Or the gedong house awaited by the beautiful woman in the red dress, I am also no longer able to go upstairs. As if it were closed.


However, I have a new dream that makes new worries for me. I dream of being in two worlds at once. The two worlds are connected through a door.


I have always been in the world of the subtle and tried to reach the door to my own world. Strangely every time I find the door I always wake up from my sleep. I haven't been able to get out of the world of the subtle creatures into my own world.


What dream is this? for the first time I dreamed of something like this. Before I dreamed of the door, is this dream also a sign?


Back when I was a teenager I used to work in a bookstore, the owner was a kind-hearted Chinese. Each employee has a break of 1 hour.


The store was 3-storied, only the lowest level was used to sell. The other 2 levels were used to store all kinds of goods.


On the 2nd floor there is a friend named Hasan who is in charge of lowering goods from top to bottom using a rope. He never went downstairs, unless the time came home at 5 p.m.


Because the break time is very short only 1 hour and the distance of my boarding house is far. I prefer to sleep on the top 3rd floor. Because if I sleep on the 2nd floor where Hasan used to be, he's very noisy when he drops things off. So, I can't sleep.


Long story short I often sleep upstairs spending my break. A lot of friends always warned me not to sleep there. They said upstairs there's a waiter.


I don't believe their words. Because to me, they're just liars and bully fellow friends. I'm not a coward who would be afraid to sleep upstairs in broad daylight.


That afternoon I slept well, and every once in a while Hasan went upstairs to pick things up. He also sometimes nosy me to scare me.


In a dream, the door is always closed. Surprisingly I always felt a great fear towards that door. It was as if behind that door there was something that could frighten and harm me.


Often I dream of the door, but I do not heed it and still sleep upstairs.


One day, I dreamed that the door was open. But it was very dark there. I shuddered and experienced great fear until I woke up from my sleep.


The next morning I had a fever and could not go to work. What am I really going through? is that dream related to my pain? maybe I was too attached to the dream.


However, as long as I was sick I always dreamed of the door, the very dark door was already open!


Since then I have not dared to sleep on the 3rd floor. Almost 1 month long I dreamed the door was open, until the door closed again and never again haunted me as I never slept upstairs.


And now the same door I dreamt of back in the background and different events. What the hell does this mean? and why do my dreams always start from me who is in the world of subtle beings and trying to return to the world of humans?


The dream became my new frustration. I didn't tell you about my dream to Jain. Because just remembering it makes me shiver and feel like I'm going back to stress.


I can only continue to pray that my family and I will be given salvation. I cannot control anything beyond my senses, therefore I can only give up and continue to strive.


That day Jain and I planned to move out of my contract. We planned to move to the location of the land we cicil close to the Jain parents' house.


But there was still no electricity, and the house we built was not a real house. We plan to set up a low budget type house with makeshift funds. Because sooner or later we will definitely move there too someday.
