The Bad Dream

April 5th, 2008 by WHO WAS PHONE?

“Daddy, I had a bad dream.” You blink your eyes and pull up on your elbows. Your clock glows red in the darkness—it’s 3:23.

“Do you want to climb into bed and tell me about it?”

“No, Daddy.”

The oddness of the situation wakes you up more fully. You can barely make out your daughter’s pale form in the darkness of your room.

“Why not sweetie?”

“Because in my dream, when I told you about the dream, the thing wearing Mommy’s skin sat up.” For a moment, you feel paralyzed; you can’t take your eyes off of your daughter. The covers behind you begin to shift.

    That is really really creepy

  2. Rabidrogue

    Oooh, creepage.

  3. Just a Girl

    Oh shi-

  4. Readman

    The most interesting thing about this creepypasta is that this could actually happen in real life and that it’s just as possible that nothing happened to the mother and she’s simply rolling over in bed.

  5. Dammerung

    …And then she was a zombie.

    I’m sorry. This was the first creepypasta I’ve read, and while scary, it’s not longer as bad.

    It COULD happen to anyone. But why take risks? When the covers next to you begin to shift, take the pillow and suffocate the body.

    And my wife wonders why I sleep with an elephant gun every night! I’m just waiting for the thing wearing that bitch’s skin to make one wrong move before I turn the entire bed into a pool of rich, red tomato soup!!

  8. Person

    in this story the little girl is afraid of telling her dad her dream, because in her dream she told him what spooked her and apparently had some in-dream premonition about the “thing wearing mommy’s” skin. you know.. the one sleeping right next to him?

    urf.. you best be trollin.

  13. r

  15. TheCoreMan

    Anyone noticed that the hour is 3:23 (23 is the main thing here)? Movie (The number 23) effects that get your brains and eat them from the inside… Fucking subliminal messages.

  16. Daddy

    and then i promptly shit on my wife’s back out of fear.

  24. FarthestFromSane

    In this story’s situation, the solution to fighting off this thing in mother’s skin is simple:

    Use your daughter as a human-shield

  25. shortys roc my sox

  28. drippingblood

    What does it mean that the covers behind you begin to shift.But I think it was a monster that was his dead wife was it?

  29. darktimes

    That was awsome. Gave me the chills. Great!!!!

  30. shortys roc my sox

    @ dripping blood ok he when he said “Because in my dream, when I told you about the dream, the thing wearing Mommy’s skin sat up.” For a moment, you feel paralyzed; you can’t take your eyes off of your daughter. The covers behind you begin to shift.
    it is just sopess to make u think her dream is real and that his wife moving was the monster she dreamed about

  31. shortys roc my sox

    i’m gonna do that to my dad and talk really loud so that my mom wakes up or at least rolls over to c what is going on ;)

  32. egads

    bricks were thoroughly shat.

  33. McVitie's

    Hmmmmm if the mother were dead or in a hospital, it would have been even more creepy n_n

  34. Chareth Curestory

    this one isnt scary.

    it means nothing.

    in real life, the father would just tell his daughter to go back to bed.

  35. shortys roc my sox

    @ chareth curestory

    it depends on if the dad is a scaredie cat or not

  36. astrosimi

    BUT THEN WHO WAS WIFEWEARING MOSTROSITY?

  37. Nathara

    @ 35 NO - you’d tell your daughter to shut the hell up and get out!

  38. Anon

    And then, John was a zombie.

  39. Mr. Valiant
