Thread: Nightmare

I had a nightmare the other night. A horrid nightmare which got me thinking. I don't know where I was, or what I was doing, but it was very dark. Something startled me awake, and I sat up real fast. Well, that night, I was listening to my headphones, and they were still on me. In my dark room, I felt the cord wrap around me, and I panicked. I REALLY panicked. I started screaming, flailing my arms wildly. I thought something was on me, and it scared the living hell out of me! Getting it off me, I heard my dad's pounding feet as he rushed to my room. The first thing I said to him was to turn on the lights. I was trembling. When I saw what was around me, I was sad. My headphones were torn completely, and the wires were ripped completely apart. In fact, I think I was shocked, because my hand felt tingly.

I was scared. A true fear. It's weird how a dream can push you to the limits of your emotions. I don't think I've ever felt so much fear in my life. My heart was pounding, I was shaking profusely, and I screamed at the top of my lungs. Feelings like that don't come in real life unless you're faced with life or death situations, and even then, I don't know if it's quite as traumatic. There was such an incredible fear flowing inside of me. Why does the mind go to such efforts to bring dreams into reality?Even to the point of utter terror? It doesn't seem like a natural thing. I don't know. All I know is that I was scared for my life, a feeling I wish I NEVER have to feel in real life... That was just too much...
