After reading the title of this Creepypasta you might be wondering if I mean in your dreams or in real life. Well no matter which option you pick, you would be wrong. Nevertheless, I hope this only further intrigues you to hear what I have to say. What I am here to tell you about you must head with caution after reading, because then your mind will become only more susceptible. Susceptible to the only other plane of existence other than ours, The Netherealm. The Netherealm is the place where ghosts, monsters, and any other supernatural creatures that could bode harm upon your mental state at their leisure. You might be wondering how this all affects you while you sleep. Well, when you sleep, your mind becomes the most vulnerable at this time of day more than any other simply because your body is at rest and all that is you is pushed deep into the recesses of your mind. All the supernatural beasts usually have a bit of a problem getting to you during the day because your eyes are open, your hearing is acute, and your mind is in tune with all of these functions perfectly. But when you sleep, the creatures of the night and shadows use this short time period to get their fill of torture and terror on your weak, vulnerable, and susceptible mind. I've had it happen to me before and let me warn you, it is not something to joke about. The creatures have no restraint and will torture you for as long as you are asleep if they get to you. What do you think nightmares and night terrors are? Everyone has had this happen to them at least once. And if you haven't, God help you because then you're in real trouble.

Now what you hear in your dreams, is NOT something your brain just, "makes up." All the voices and noises you hear when you dream are creatures from The Netherealm, who have come to visit you when you slumber. Now, not all are malevolent, in fact, most are quite benevolent and happy creatures such as Angels, faeries, and other sprites of that variety. I mean how often do you have nightmares or night terrors? It differs from person to person. Some people just don't have any of the luck and get terrorized night after night after night.. I feel for these people, I really do. The creatures sometimes find certain people that just excite them and keep terrorizing and torturing them.. And they won't stop. Not when they figure out a way to always get to your mind first before the happier creatures. Think of it as sperm cells racing to fertilize an egg if you will. A crude example, I know, but the best suited for the topic.

But I'm not here to talk about the benevolent creatures, because there is no reason to learn how to defend yourself from those spirits. It's what the demonic creatures of The Void do that you need to learn to protect yourself from. Now, what these creatures do with your mind is very dastardly, devious, and just over all terrifying so be prepared. They first float around the vastness of the The Netherealm, searching for an opening in The Void to let them bypass into your deepest thoughts and memories. They find these memories good and especially bad, and use them to their advantage. For instance, if you have lost a loved one or recently broken a relationship with a person you held very dear, they would love nothing more than to turn your dream into a raging nightmare, depicting something such as having to watch your loved one die in front of your eyes while they scream in pain or beg you to help them. But you can't. No matter how hard you try, it's as if they have shackled your very mind so are all but helpless! You can't move, you can't speak! All you can do is watch. Then they start whispering to you. They whisper all that they would love to do to torture your innocent mind. They do all they can to drive you insane and push your limits. Don't let them do this! You must fight it! Wake up! Do all you can to wake up!
