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.

Oooh, creepage.

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.

…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!!

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.

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
September 2nd, 2008 at 8:48 pm

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?
September 6th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
That was awsome. Gave me the chills. Great!!!!
September 8th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
@ 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
September 8th, 2008 at 8:42 pm
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
September 23rd, 2008 at 7:59 pm
bricks were thoroughly shat.
October 4th, 2008 at 9:13 pm
Hmmmmm if the mother were dead or in a hospital, it would have been even more creepy n_n
October 16th, 2008 at 5:48 am
this one isnt scary.
it means nothing.
in real life, the father would just tell his daughter to go back to bed.
November 7th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
@ chareth curestory
it depends on if the dad is a scaredie cat or not
November 7th, 2008 at 11:35 pm
BUT THEN WHO WAS WIFEWEARING MOSTROSITY?
November 11th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
@ 35 NO - you’d tell your daughter to shut the hell up and get out!
November 15th, 2008 at 5:58 pm
