This afternoon was about the closest thing I've had to a nightmare since I was very little. I sensed what was happening and woke myself, but I was still lucid after waking and the experience continued. I felt the heavy touch of a dark force on my back. Utter darkness and dread crept through me from the point of contact and quickly consumed me. I rolled over, trying in vain to stop its spread. I could feel myself drifting back to sleep in this state. It was difficult for me to regain touch with reality. I could still feel this.. creeping, sinking blackness as I fought toward wakefulness. I was more tired than when I had laid down to rest, which didn't help in my efforts to regain a sense of normalcy. I rubbed my eyes, which were very parched. My movements seemed colored with that blackness I had felt. It seemed to cling to me.

Eventually I gave up hope of returning to restful sleep and got up unsatisfied. My eyes still don't feel any less tired. Honestly, I had planned to get to bed early this evening, but... well I'm a little afraid to go back to sleep I guess. The dream was just so penetrating.

I suppose I will have to give it a shot eventually though. Now is as good a time as any.
