The Creepy Dream Guy

It is often said that sometimes truth can be stranger than fiction. Such is the case with the person I call "The Creepy Dream Guy". His story is a strange one indeed. He is known as "This Man". Basically, This Man...if he exists, has found a way to inter a sleeping persons dreams.



As I understand it, someone can be asleep and This Man just shows up unannounced. Once he shows up, a number of things can happen. He may just sit there like a bump on a log and stare at you unnervingly. He may give you a sense of comfort by smiling at you. You may be trapped inside a strange place and he will lead you out.



Other times, he will do something that frightens people. The same smile used to comfort some people, can scare other people. Sometimes, he will do incredibly weird things...like turn his head into a balloon. Yes, I know, it sounds crazy, but I am not making this stuff up. Some people say This Man has been showing up regularly in their dreams since they were a child.



What does he look like? Well I will draw him for you and upload a video of the drawing to this post. If I had to describe him, I would have to say he looks like a middle aged guy. Maybe medium build, perhaps a little chubby. Thinning hair on the top. Unusually big eyes that seem to say he knows something you don't.





There is even a web site dedicated to This Man: http://www.thisman.org/ Lots of people have dreamed of This Man. As the story goes... In January 2006 a well known psychiatrist in New York was treating a patient with sleep disorders. Someone she called"This Man" frequently showed up in her dreams. However, she had never seen This Man in her waking life. She drew a picture of this strange person who kept showing up in her dreams.

The psychiatrist left the drawing on his desk. A completely different patient saw the drawing and said he had seen This Man frequently in his dreams as well. This new patient also said he had never seen This Man in his waking life.



So it began, and as it turns out, person after person has testified to seeing This Man in their dreams. The strange thing is, this is a world wide phenomenon. It is happening all over the place. That is, if the stories are true.



If this is true, who or what exactly is This Man? Is he good or bad, friend or foe? Is he something encoded into our DNA that is naturally occurring and only happens when we are asleep? Is it all some unknown social phenomenon, or just one great big hoax?



Perhaps, this is an actual person...some kind of mad scientist nerd with too much time on his hands. Maybe he is one smart cookie with all kinds of "PHD ABC-Degrees" pasted all over his wall. He has invented a machine that sends out special alpha radio waves which allow him to manipulate peoples minds while they are asleep. (Yes he is one sick puppy)


I'll tell you the problem I have with this situation. When you and I are asleep, we are in our most vulnerable state. We are helpless. People can hurt you or do things to you that they couldn't if you were awake. Now I don't know if This man is real or not real, but if he is in fact real, I can only think of one other person he reminds me of...FREDDY KRUGER.

Freddy goes around invading people's minds like it's his own personal playground. He acts like he's a God and he can do anything he wants, and no one can stop him. If Freddy were real, I wouldn't like him. So Mr. This Man, I don't like you for the same reason. You trespass on the most sacred of private properties...a persons mind. You have no right to do that. You have no business doing that.

So go get a life. Get a Job, whatever, but knock it off. You have no right to do whatever you want...to whoever you want...whenever you want to do it.

If you are a real person, I think you have the perfect "Clown Face", so why not invest in some clown makeup? Really, you'd make a great clown and I think you'd make a lot of money with your big clown shoes and a few animal balloons.

Hang up the mad scientist routine, because no good can come of it. Another thing, you'd better stay out of my dreams, you looser. If you have something to say to people, you should say it to their face, instead of sneaking through the back door of a person's mind to play games with their head.

Last...don't let me catch you out in the street. Out in the real world were you can't turn into a balloon and fly away. If I see you, I will probably shove a hot dog up your nose or something.
