Myself, my mom and my sisters are in my house.

I go to the bathroom. While I'm in there the lights flicker and the shower curtain opens all the way on it's own but I notice that it opens opposite the way we usually open it.
The lights around the house begin to turn off and on by themselves.

We're all in my bedroom. All of us are in my bed. We're huddled together, discussing what's going on.

The stereo or t.v. comes on in the living room. The volume goes way up and then way down.
The lights in my sisters room go on and off by themselves.

We discuss whether or not we should call the ghosts out, or if that will make it worse.
We decide to wait.

The commotion comes into the room and two ghosts manifest in front of us, a man and a woman. They're playfully tossing balls of something back and forth to each other and at us. I catch one and throw it back. It feels like silly putty. I think it's going to go through her but she catches it and throws it back at me.

I start talking to them, asking what they want. They say that they've come to give us a chance to argue our case. I ask them what case they're talking about.
"Whether or not you should go to hell of course".
They're looming over us, their faces are grotesque for a moment and in that moment I'm a little afraid, but this passes and their faces become friendly again

They give my older sister and I two fruits. They look like prickly pears but they're yellow.

They tell us that when we're ready we should take these (I think they mean for us to eat them? but I'm unsure) and we will be transported. I ask if it's dangerous. He says "Well yes, It's heroin".
I ask if we have to take them right away. They say no but that we should do it soon.

Afterwards my sister and myself are standing in line. I think we're at some kind of post office but for some reason everyone in line has "taken the trip to plead their case" or is about to. People are sending letters off and paying bills. The man-ghost is there and I ask him if we should be getting our affairs in order before we leave.
"Oh definitely, you may not be coming back." The ghosts are very friendly and a little playful.

I ask if there are any side effects that I should be aware of.

"No, not really. Maybe some slight birth defects or mental retardation in your child if you're pregnant...".
I see someone walk by with a toddler that looks "slow".
"...and sometimes people come back with these markings on their heads and are sometimes unable to grow their hair back. The design is actually kind of beautiful. It's like a rorschach in black. I see a small child and a man walking around with these designs on their heads. I mention that I wouldn't have to worry because my hair will grow back over the design. The ghost smiles.

I tell him I'm scared. He smiles again and says, "once you get there, you're not going to want to come back".
