NIGHTMARE!
Jan. 28th, 2005 02:22 amWow. It's been a REAL long time since I woke up out of sound sleep froma nightmare. Currently, 2:22 am.
Dream was kinda cool..night setting, in my Apt...trading phone mail messages with a girl (Unknown who, in the dream, she was a GF I'd been dating a while). In the dream, I'd tried going out to meet her, when she was in the area..and she'd tried to come over to meet me while I was out. Somehow, we both managed to miss each other. I had missed her, so had gone to an all night "1/2 price book store", and was looking at Trade paperbacks...some girls at the store asked me to help them locate some book I've never heard of (and can't remember now), and then I went home. So, she called, and was telling me about how rough her night was, and Somehow, the answering machine was acting as the phone system..dont' ask me, Dream logic. Totally dark in the Apt, as I'm listening to the machine, then recording a message on it, when there's a loud noise, and a muffled voice says "Holy Shit!", a woman's voice. And then shortly after, a thumping on the door. 3 thumps (Heh, like at OJs), silence, then three more thumps. Somehow, the machine plays back the muffled "holy shit", and I remember being frozen. Then I woke up.
Frozen in position on the bed...heart thumping LOUD...hell, typing this, I've shivered, and the arms have gone gooseflesh...and, now, I feel both more tired than possible, and yet RARELY more awake. I was amazed to be calming myself down, and thinking "It must be 2:00am..."...then the Heat kicked on.
After I pulled myself down off the ceiling, I laughed at myself. You know, the nervous "What the hell is wrong with you???" laugh. Then, went to check the locks. THEN, like a true LJ Freak, came out to type it down. It's such a rare occurence when I have a nightmare. I really only remember two, tho I'm sure if i sat and thought about it, I could recall a few more. One was a nightmare where my parents house (not one they've ever had) had ghosts in it...I think I was in middle school at the time. The other one I remember very clearly..it's one of the clearest dreams I've ever had. That one I'll write down at a later date, suffice to say, it ended in nuclear apocalypse, and I woke to my phone ringing, and my best friend saying he was sorry he had awoken me, and me saying that I'd never been happier to have been awoken from a dream.
That one was approximately 13 years ago...shortly after, I bought a dream catcher (was into crystals and "new age" at the time), and still have the catcher to this day. And now I'm calmer...of course, that could just be that I have the lights on...imagine, almost 32, and suddenly having the desire for a night light. Can I get Linus' blanket while I'm at it?
Will be up a little longer, then try to go back to sleep.
