Nightmare

"You're a failure." I hear my father and mother say to me.

"You deserve nothing but sadness." I hear my sister say to me.

"You are disgusting." I hear my ex-girlfriend say to me, with her face right in mine.

"No.." I say weakly back at them.

This is a dream, I'm dreaming. Everything is fine, I'm okay.

"I could never be proud of you." I hear my parents say again.

"I can't believe my brother is such a retard" I hear my sister say while rolling her eyes.

"You were the biggest waste of my time." my ex says while walking away and fading into the darkness.

My family begins to do the same and I reach out to them, wanting to make them proud of me. They disappear and a shift in the air happens. I find myself in the midst of darkness swirling around me with a light far in the distance. I reach out towards it and notice it go farther and farther away from me.

Why can I never reach the light? Why is it always running from me? Am I such a bad person? Is that why no one likes me? Do I really disappoint everyone? Am I a waste of breath?

I stop reaching for the light and slump down into a fetal position. I start crying while holding my knees tightly to my body and feel my heart rate rise exponentially until a figure touches my back. I turn around and see Luna, she smiles at me and points back at the light. I turn back around and reach for the light one more time and am surprised when my hand actually pushes the light, which seems to be a solid orb, away by smacking into it.

"The things that make life so great are right there in front of you Devan, you just need to realize that they are there and then hold them close." Luna says while walking in front of me and then pushing the light into my chest. The darkness around me lifts and I see a lake in front of me and a great mountain range all around me. The stars reflect off the surface of the lake and the moon shines down on my skin, calming me.

"In my time with going to the dreams of the creatures of this world, I have never seen a being who dreams as you do. It is very vivid, and beautiful Devan." Luna says as she sits next to me, staring at the moon above us.

I look up and stare along with her. "I'm sorry about that Luna, I get that nightmare sometimes. It's just my mental issue popping up every now and then. Everyone always says to just 'get happier' or something, but clinical depression doesn't just go away, even if I am having a good time..." I say quietly and with a sad tone.

She nods and her horn lights up. "I understand Devan, and I am sorry. I knew many ponies before that had a similar issue and I hope you can push through and find the light that is right there in front of you." she replies.

I look in front of my at the lake and notice a small group of ponies. Sweetie Belle is hopping along with Rarity and her trademark smile. Pinkie Pie is jumping along with Sweetie Belle and Lyra is watching alongside Sweetie Drops. Trixie is speaking with Twilight in a boasting manner while she just rolls her eyes at her and smiles at me along with Trixie. They disappear in a dark blue light and I look next to me at Luna with small tears going down my cheeks. I immediately hug her and wipe my tears off on her.

"You deserve happiness, don't think otherwise. I should know, I've done much worse than you and yet are loved still by my sister and treated kindly by others." she says with a motherly tone, resting her head on mine. "Come to me if you ever need anything, I will not hesitate to do what I can Devan. You saved me from forcing a pain and burden upon myself, so I will help lift yours."

I nod gently and smile, as much as I can that is.

"Good, now it's time for you wake up." Luna says right before she bops me on the head with her horn and I wake up, staring at the ceiling with the alarm going off next to me.

Well, that was... Kinda violating.. But amazing too. I'll forgive her this time.

I yawn and begin to stretch before feeding magic in the alarm clock to turn it off. It doesn't.

What the fuck is this fresh hell? Maybe a different way of deactivation?

I look closer at the alarm clock and see a dial on the side of it. I begin to feed my magical energy into it and see the dial move. A small arrow is in the middle of said dial and I keep feeding my energy into it until it reaches the arrow. The arrow lights up and the alarm clock is silenced, finally. I feel a small bead of sweat go down my head.

Great, so these are advanced ones.

I get up and dress myself, walking to the door and attempt to open it.

Of course it has a magical lock.

I carefully match the magical energy with the arrow on the dial and the lock opens. I rush to the bathroom and pull down my pants, releasing the relief I had built up while sighing in the process..

Thirty fucking minutes to turn off the alarm and get through there and into the bathroom.

After I finish I look to my right and see Sweetie Belle staring at me, well specifically at my genitals. I feel my cheeks grow red and pull my pants up.

"Why does your thing look different?" she says innocently.

"Well, you see..." I stammer and begin to say before Rarity comes around the corner and pushes her along.

After she scoots Sweetie away, Rarity comes back and smiles. "Try to keep the door closed Darling. I don't really want to give Sweetie 'The Talk' this early." Rarity says calmly.

I nod sheepishly and close the door slowly. I then notice that there's a magical lock on the inside of the bathroom door. I sigh and begin to work on it.
