Nightmare
I had a nightmare Thursday night, within only the first hour of going to bed. I dreamt that there was some shouting outside of the actual home I live in, then a man came up to the window of the actual bedroom I sleep in, with a gun pointing at Mike and I. We ran upstairs (which we don't actually have in real life since our house is a single story). The man ran up after us and I watch him shoot Mike...saw the bullets go into his skin and blood shoot out. Then the guy turned the gun on me. Then the guy started laughing and talking to us, telling us how we should have handled the situation. I was appalled because I had to actually see Mike get shot.
Then I woke up and told Mike about the dream, about how I saw him get shot 10 times and I saw the blood. There was yelling outside a few houses down, so we figured that's what spurred the dream. The yelling started getting louder and we got scared and wanted to set our security alarm and leave. I didn't know the code, but Mike did and he was having trouble with the alarm, but he wouldn't tell me the code so I could help.
Then I really woke up. Mike said I was whimpering. After a little bit of him holding me, I told him about the nightmare. I asked him if there was any shouting outside or if that was all in my dream. I felt kinda scared still. Waking up in my dream and telling Mike about the nightmare, and all that still being a dream kinda shook me. So did the fact that the dream took place in our actual house. I looked at the clock and it was only an hour after I had gone to sleep. Needless to say, I didn't sleep very well the rest of the night.
I don't know if the nightmare is related to my accident or not. Since the accident, I've had plenty of unpleasant dreams. At first I was calling them nightmares, until I had four very bad nightmares, and then I came to the conclusion that those were nightmares related to the accident while the others were unpleasant dreams related to the drugs. It's really just a guess, I don't actually know. The other four I could see how they'd be related to the accident - they were all about me being in a situation I had no control over, I felt completely helpless, and the only thing I could think to do was call out to Mike. Not sure if this one fits in that category or not.
Anyway, I was not very happy to have the dream. It really bothered me.

wow, that really sucks sweetie :(
I cant stand the kind where you think you've woken up and then realize you hadnt but now you are...then you wonder if you really are awake!! Speaking of nightmares... I had a them last night and its been months since I've had one... I guess its the stress, I honestly feel it has to do with something else though. I'll have to explain later.. I'm beat!
I'm so sorry you had to go through such a vivid scary dream.
