15th JANUARY 2009.
LAGOS, Nigeria.
Lekan Johnson got up from his bed at 5 am, he hardly slept throughout the night.
He had woken up at some minutes past one, he had a nightmare and wasn’t able to sleep again. He had dreamt that a man dressed in all black whose body was looking burnt all over, was chasing him. He kept running away from the man, and did not see the huge pit in front of him. He fell into the pit, and kept falling, as the pit did not seem to have an end.
When he woke up, he prayed with his rosary, he had recited the apostles creed and every other prayer he could think of.
He was praying when he slept off again, and had the same dream, this time it was a horse-like bird with long vampire teeth, that was chasing him, he had fallen into the same pit. He had the same dream, all through the night, never sleeping for more than fifteen minutes, before waking up again.&nb
