Many former members of the Jehovah’s Witness faith report having nightmares after leaving. I’ve had a few nightmares myself.
One of those nightmares involved me being in a Kingdom Hall. The Kingdom hall we attended when I was a child was what I would describe as split level. If you entered the main door you would have would find yourself beneath chandelier type light. On your left would be stairs going up leading to a balcony and lobby area.
Anyways I was upstairs in the lobby standing near the balcony area. In my dream, I was getting really tired. I was so tired that I couldn’t stand anymore and I curled up on the floor near the railing. The witnesses harassed me for being there so I got up and walked out.
I was then outside walking in the parking lot. I saw other people walking outside that looked at me and they walked to their car. I then turn around in look back at the hall. It was now engulfed in dark ominous looking clouds.
In the distances is an ominous figure. It was essentially a silhouette of Godzilla in the fog. You could barely see it but it was obvious that something large was looming in the distance. Then I see myself from the perspective of the monster. The field of view was as if through a sniper rifle.
It wasn’t wasn’t the monster that was looking through the sniper rifle though. It was as though a person was somewhere hidden in the dark clouds and was using a sniper to shoot at me. Yes, I was being shot at from the dark clouds with the shadowy Godzilla figure.
I started running as I was shot at. And then I woke up. Sweating profusely with my heart pounding. It was one of the dreams that for a moment I couldn’t tell if it was real or not.
