Sweet Dreams are made of these

It's been a while.
I've alway had nightmares.
They're really nothing new.
But recently our mutual tall friend has been making appearances in them.
I haven't seen him in my dreams
But I know he's there.

I don't think it's connected to real life in any way.
I'm still pretty clear on that front.
I think it's just a side-effect of reading about him so much.

I spend hours reading the blogs and following the stories.
It takes a toll on a person's psyche.

Which I guess brings us to the next point:
He exists because you think about him. Now stop thinking about him.
They say that thinking about him or even just knowing about him draws him to you.
I think that's a bit exaggerated.
It might make you more vulnerable
But I don't think that alone is enough to screw you over.
There are so many people who've been exposed at this point (oh the beauty of the internet) that there's really no way he could target everyone who knows about him.
That's like believing God just watches what you do every second of every day.
He doesn't have time for that shit.

No, I'm not saying Slender Man is a god.
But we'll touch on that later I guess.

This was more just to check in and say hey.
And talk about my dreams.

Until next time,

I do believe in faeries

So apparently people read this now.
Hi Shaun. We seem to have completely opposite goals but, uh, good luck with that "intentionally getting stalked" thing...

And on that note.
How the hell have I been staying off this thing's radar?
I really don't know.
I tell myself I'm just not important.
I mean, if I'm not important to him, why would he come after me?
I really believe that ideas give things power.
And that the Slender Man is shaped by ideas. (more details later)
So if I keep telling myself I'm not important.
And that he wouldn't be interested in me.
Maybe it keeps being true?

I also have religious symbols I believe protect me.
I wear an ankh.
I've been wearing it for years.
Since before I knew about all this shit.
I believe it protects me.
I also got a tattoo.
It's an ankh flanked by the two eyes of Horus.
They are protective symbols and to me they represent the eyes of the gods, watching over me and protecting me from evil.
I've also got sandalwood mala beads that I wear for protection.

I don't know that any of these things really have an impact on the supernatural horrors that stalk this earth.
But I tell myself they do.
And I tell myself that makes a difference.
