who needs sleep?
BAD nightmares last night. like, really bad. like, haven't been that bad in awhile. not good... i'm trying to think if anything specific triggered them yesterday. but i can't decide what.
the general idea of it was that there was some building evacuated with some of my family in it, and everyone was running to safety. i was in trouble (running from someone/thing)somewhere in hoboken (i think... i'll explain why later), and i went to a police officer to help me, but all of the "bad people" were dressed in police uniforms, too, so i was basically running from everyone. people kept approaching me, asking me to help them, but i couldn't because i didn't know how i was going to get to safety either. so, eventually i get close enough to see the river (and across to new york), and i try to use my cell phone to call phil to come help me, but a "fake" police officer comes up to me to tell me that he has to confiscate my phone. i start to run away from him, but i can't because i'm trapped by the river. i try to call phil on the sly, hoping that if i just scream loud enough near the phone, he will hear it and call the "real" police. the officer lunges at me, and... i wake myself up.
then, i fall back to sleep, and the nightmare sort of continues. fun. i don't remember as much about that second part, but i do remember it being just as bad. more running from bad people, more trying to contact someone (police, phil, my parents, etc) to help me, more fighting off "bad" people.
i just reread what i wrote- about the nightmare, and it doesn't seem that bad. i mean, i remember waking up scared and feeling alone, like no one could help me, and it always feels very real, but it just doesn't seem like something so stupid should scare me. i don't know how i feel about that.
