Nightmares

Last night, I didn't sleep very well. I kept having the same nightmare over and over. Well, not over and over, but rather one continuous nightmare. I would wake up, tell myself that it was just a nightmare, roll the pillow over to the cool side, and go back to sleep. I remember doing this three seperate times.

I am not going to describe the dream, but to say that I have very vivid and horrific nightmares. I wonder if having a vivid imagination is not a curse in something like this.

Nightmares are not common in adult life, or so say the dream experts. I couldn't tell you the last time that I had a truly vivid or horrific nightmare. Oh, I remember having gawd-awful nightmares as a kid (which again, experts say is a part of normal development). But, I just don't remember hardly any as an adult.

So, my questions to you, the readers, are these: "When was the last time that you had a really bad nightmare? Was is so vivid that it left you scared in the morning? And Have you had one that continued once you returned to sleep?"

Just something that I pondered all day.
