"The Suicide Loop" - a nightmare I had

A dream/nightmare I had a few years back:
_____

I am in my apartment playing Drakan on my computer; the floor is on fire and is burning slowly away, revealing another floor a few feet below. I keep playing the game and mostly ignore the burning, walking around it if I need to get up for something.

I had two neighbors in the dream, guys in their early twenties like I was at the time. LA white boy types. They came over to hang out, they both had antlers (like deer antlers) and they had hair that had been battered and deep fried, which stood up as if they had been upside down when they fried it. It looked like deep fried dreadlocks sticking straight up.

They put the TV on and said I should watch the show they put on, it turned out to be a 'Tales from the Crypt' type of show, but it was more like 'tales from hell'

The show opened with a pretty girl of around 13 years old, she was an ice skater that was training for the Olympics. She was under a lot of pressure and was stressing out. She had gotten a hold of a revolver (chrome) and was really stressed out about training all the time. She takes the revolver and shoots herself in the head, committing suicide.

In the next scene she is back to being alive and is relieved, she says something about not wanting to kill herself and that it was an accident. After a minute or so, she has the revolver in her hand again as if it just appeared there. She freaks out and says she doesn’t want to kill herself but she slowly starts pointing the gun at her head again, she is not able to control it. She again shoots herself in the head.

In the next scene she is sitting on a couch with her mom, they are both crying about her having killed herself, she tells her mom she won’t do it again and that she wishes she never did it, her arm is around her mom and suddenly the revolver is back in her hand. With her hand reaching around from the other side of her mom she again shoots herself in the head, not able to stop herself from doing so.

The scenes start getting shorter and shorter, each time she comes back to life, she has less time until she kills herself again. Also each time she comes back to life her eyes look more exhausted and droopy, and her mouth starts to twist into a sick looking smile or grimace. Each time she looks more and more terrible, which is extra disturbing because she was such a pretty girl. This might have been the worst aspect of the dream.

She keeps coming back to life in different places, like around the house, or the park, and she realizes what happened just long enough to realize she will kill herself again. She always ends up with the gun in her hand and is not able to stop herself from shooting herself. One of the times she is in the shower, and another version of her jumps into the shower with the gun, shoots her, and then shoots herself.

Her face at this point is bone white and twisted into a masklike visage with droopy exhausted eyes and a sick unnatural grimace; she is now coming into existence and killing herself faster and faster until it is happening several times per second.

The camera pans out and shows that there are now many copies of her, dozens at least, popping into existence and killing themselves and each other. This is apparently her private hell. I didn't even realize that until I had woken up and thought about the dream.

As the camera pans out I can see other parts of hell. The only other part I clearly remember was a woman who was made of kitchen appliances like refrigerators and stoves for arms, and her whole body was a convenience store. She was nonstop stuffing her face with food and getting bigger and bigger.

The show ended and the show host said a few words of warning, I can’t remember exactly what he said.

I woke up around that part of the dream.

Some thoughts:

I think the neighbors were some kind of demons visiting me in the dream to show me this. I usually am not all that into demons angels etc. But these guys did seem like they were real 'life forms' of some kind and that they purposely had come to my dream to make me watch that show. At the time I felt very strongly that this was the case. Who would deep fry their hair except a demon?

This dream was very intense and messed with my head for days and weeks after. It freaked me out pretty bad.

"The suicide loop" is a name I came up with later, it wasn't in the dream.
