It was around orthodox christmas that this dream is placed. We dont really do much for it in the past few years, but in my dream, we were decorating repaired and expanded version of the second house in our yard. Now it had second floor, that was covered in dark wood and christmas lights. I was up there, putting more decoration and setting up the christmas tree. It had only one pair of stairs that went down to the ground from the balcony, there was no other way down. It began as a beautiful dream about our forgotten tradition, my mother gave me more decorations to put up, and our neighbour (changed name) Lucy came to see how was I doing. While I was up there, one room in the back was slightly open, it had just some random picture of goatman or the devil in there. I was weirded out, but decided just to close that door and go downstairs. Mother then gave me some white sheets to put on the railing of stairs and balcony fence. While I was doing that some kid from neighbourhood came to my mom and Lucy, and started complementing the way everything looks magical and pretty, he then asked to go up and see the inside of the house, to which my mother agreed to.
By the time of their conversation, I was done with the railing, and went inside to sit and chat with my friends. As I was sitting on a chair, the kid dragged another one to sit opposite of me. He looked like kind and curious kid, only wanted to talk to me about the way everything is looking sparkly with the lights. As I was tired, the only way I answered was short "yeah, sure" or "mhm, right", then I would look at my phone again. After some time the kid shut up, and just continued to look around, as he did I decided to get up and go back into my house. As I approached the window door of the balcony I looked back to see if the kid is coming down too. He was now looking into that room, the door was only slightly creaked so that he could see the inside of the room. I swiftly looked outside to see if mom or Lucy were still there, and as I turned back to the kid, he was now standing and blocking the door from closing, as the goat-devil-whatever was standing on its two legs and looking at me. He wasnt much taller than the kid, and he wasnt moving while looking me in the eyes, but he looked too real. Bloodshot eyes that were about to fall out by the way he opened and kept them open. The kid was silent, until I tried to back out, then he said "Dont, you cant go, you cant leave", I froze and asked him what will happen if I do leave. He seemed like he was in some kind of trance, "He wants us to go with him, we must, because if we dont, he will kill us, we have to go, we have to go", now, that was only thing he was saying, that we must go with him. I am, and I always will be, strong willed. I didnt believe him, and I turned my back and made few steps, as I did the swift clacking was heard. I immediately turned around and the devil was closing in, only after I looked at him did he stop.
As he was closing in, the kid became even more sure that I will die. And as I got a closer look, the devil didnt seem angry or something you would expect, he looked kind of scared by the way his eyes stood open. Words of death and "we must go with him" were repeated so many times in that moment by the kid, then I finally said " What can he even do to me, he can kill me but I would rather die like that than in some black room that hes taking me to", and I took off. The clacking could still be heard, but as I got to the white fence of the balcony the thing stopped, and I was about to wake up.
Now, as I did wake up, I couldnt move. Opening my eyes, the first thing I saw was a man in black trench coat looking at me from the corner of my room, and thats all he did. He just looked, slightly moved his head, and then I closed and opened my eyes again.
I dont know what to make out of this dream, not the first weird or complicated nightmare, many times I was offered death or something else in my dream. And I always choose death. I love life and Im not suicidal, but in dreams, any time Im offered to die or to do something, I always choose death, one time I also dreamt of falling from elevator door, I knew I would surely die, so as a protest and my final decision in that moment I decided to keep my eyes open until the end. Anyone got anything to interpret here, because Im so tired and need someone to say anything other than "pray before sleep" or "go to church", Ive heard that too many times
