Maybe I'm the only one
I need to tell someone this (aka my journal) so I thought I would do so, before I forgot the better details. First let me say to those who are reading that I have insane dreams. I always have these elaborate dreams that make me talk and do weird things while I sleep. That being said, I really don't mind it. It doesn't hurt me (as long as I don't get up and do things) and it's usually entertaining to those around me.
But every once in a while, I have such a violent and scary dream that it makes me ache the next day. I know it sounds weird, that I ache the next day... and trust me it feels even more odd to have it happen. For example last night I had an insane dream. This attractive guy had somehow lured me to his room (haha) and he wanted to kill me. Not just thought he wanted to, I mean violently was trying to end my life. He might have wanted to rape me too? I'm not sure. I wasn't too afraid about that in my dream, because I realized I would still be alive if that happened. I was pushing my feet against his face in agony and pushing along the bed trying to get away. I was fighting for my life, and I was scared to death. I remember escaping numerous times, having fear run through my body the whole time. His roommates then got into the chase, and I was shaking with fear.
Well after a dream like this (which realistically could have been very short - a minute or two) which feels like it lasts HOURS - I wake up dreamily in the middle of the night in a fog, and quickly go back to bed. When I wake up in the morning (this morning I had slept for seven hours, which should have been sufficient) I am exhausted. My body is sore from tensing up all night. My muscles are weak and my neck hurts like a bitch. It feels like I had no sleep last night. I wake up in a funk, feeling like I'm still running for my life, and angry because of it.
I wish I could find some drugs to help me out at night, but since this doesn't happen that often - I don't know how I would know when to take it. Not to mention I don't always get enough sleep to take pills.
Has anyone ever heard of this happening? It's scary and I hate it...
