Speaking of nightmares...

I only have nightmares every once in a while, but I have been sick for the last 4 days and I think this might be triggering some bad dreams at night. Two nights ago I had the oddest thing happen to me. Whit was I woken up when it appeared that I was running while lying down in bed. Whit immediately woke me up from the nightmare, which is actually the first time I have ever been waken up out of a nightmare. Although it appeared as if I were running that was not the case in my dream unfortunately. I think I would of liked that more than what follows. I was standing on a pier, and it was so dark and foggy that I couldn't see anything around me. Just black in all directions. I looked down and suddenly the boards split, and something very strong was pulling me straight down into the equally dark water. I couldn't tell if it had hands, or if it was a person. I fell down and started kicking as hard as I could to get it off of me. That was where Whit came in, and I woke up gasping. Eek. I hate nightmares like that one. I told my mother about my dream yesterday, and she went on to diagnose the dream in the same way she always does. Somehow in her eyes my nightmares always relate to me graduating, and getting into the "real world". Sorry mom, I think this may have been just a sick-ee dream:)
