A dark figure

A friend said to me, "Here, drink this if you are about to go to sleep," as he hands me a glass of orange juice with pulp. I had not done any research on oranges potentiating dreams or anything of the like but I welcome new ideas. I drink about a cup directly before laying to sleep and my dream follows. I am driving a car with friends and the city lights streak past in contrast to the darkness. I smile as the car slowly fills with loud music and my most prized emotions follow. Freedom and unity comfort me in this scene and I long for my childhood; a time where these emotions ran rampant through my every day. <PERSON> is cut off and this pleasure comes to a screeching halt, inviting paranoia and manifesting claustrophobia. From the back seat a sharpened and short blade gleams in the street light. The next instant the blade is pressed against my throat and I am enveloped in fear. I look into the rear view to see that the man holding the weapon is.<PERSON>? I suppose I had been watching too much Prison Break. He is silent as he drags the blade across my skin and I brace myself for the worst pain I could imagine. Even though I did not feel any pain, I felt my wet neck and showed myself my bloody hands as the scene is ripped away and replaced. I found myself in a place that I could only describe as "space": an infinite blackness that stretched in all directions around me. A liquidesque silhouette in the distance was gazing upon me for a short while before it is complete transformation. A solid bone structure of a skull connected to spine started to become visible to me as I noticed the floating liquid was skin and it was being magnetically attracted to the skull and spine. It is hard to describe the rest of the transformation but the end result was a horrific, disfigured face with a fleshy spine-tail and large praying mantis-like blade arms. This abomination slithered through "space" slicing apart naked humans with ease and glee. The gruesome detail of these acts of violence was incredibly intense, as was my rising fear. The beast headed straight towards me as if the ripple effect of my fear had jolted him, suddenly. During his approach, I was shown the details of his expression: bloodlust and sheer insanity. I awoke before, what I assume would have been, my gruesome death in absolute terror. Good times!

Well, my first posted dream . . . I am at the sink in my kitchen, and something distracts me. I turn around to see a dark shape flit past the door to the lounge room, towards the front door.

On February 2, 2012 at 12:45 AM, several people were intrigued by a loud dull noise that seemed to come from a dark mass with no lights at all, moving slowly and at low altitude in the sky.
