The Horrible Dream
Chapter Two part one

• Chapter 2 The Horrible Dream Jonathan Harker's diary continued.

• There's no way out.

• I'm a prisoner here.

• The Count has made me a prisoner.

• But why?

• Earlier today I saw the Count in my room.

• He was making my bed.

• Then later I saw him laying the table.

• This means he definitely doesn't have any servants.

• Does this mean that he was also the coach driver?

• The coach driver who brought me here?

• Does this mean that he can talk to wolves?

• Can he make wolves be quiet by holding up his hand?

• I'm feeling very afraid.

• Is this why the people of Bistritz didn't want me to come here?

• I must find out more about the Count, but I must be careful.

• Midnight I talked to the Count for a long time.

• I asked him about Transylvanian history.

• He likes to talk about history.

• He's very interesting when he talks about it.

• He loves to talk about war and blood.

• He talks about war like he was there at the time.

• He's related to Attila the Hun and he's very proud of it.

• I now think he's a dangerous man.

• The 12th of May The Count says I must stay here for a month.

• I've written to Mr. Hawkins my employer to tell him the news.

• Count Dracula asked me to write.

• I also wrote to Meena.

• I didn't say anything about the Count to my letters.

• I didn't say anything about being a prisoner.

• I gave my letters to the Count.

• I'm sure he'll read them.

• The Count is busy again this evening.

• He's told me to be careful in the castle.

• He says I must be careful where I go.

• I must be careful where I sleep.

• I must only sleep in my own room.

• I must be careful not to fall asleep anywhere else.

• He says the castle is old.

• If I fall asleep in another room, I'll have bad dreams.

• Bad things can happen in this castle.

• Later.

• When the Count left me, I went to my room.

• I looked out of my window and I saw the Count.

• He was climbing out of his window.

• Then he climbed down the cliff.

• He wasn't climbing like a man.

• He was climbing like an animal.

• Then he disappeared into a gap in the cliff.

• The 15th of May.

• Tonight I saw the Count go out of his window again.

• Again, he climbed down the cliff like an animal.

• I watched him go.

• I picked up my lamp.

• I went to look around the castle some more.

• This time I went to new places.

• Places that I know the Count goes.

• A lot of the doors were locked.

• Then on one corridor, I found a door which wasn't locked.

• It was difficult to open, but I pushed it hard.

• The room inside was very light.

• The window curtains are the window.

• The moon lit the room brightly.

• Now here I am in this room writing my diary.

• I like this room more than my room.

• It doesn't feel like a prison.

• Later, the morning of the 16th of May.

• I finished writing my diary and put it in my pocket.

• Then I felt sleepy.

• I lay down on the sofa and went to sleep.

• I had a horrible dream.

• At least I hope it was all a dream.

• It seems so real to me.
