Nightmares

As the general idea goes, nightmares involve monsters, disturbing scenarios, and horror themes. For me, that’s an exciting and fun dream to have. My nightmares are different— typically, they are about me losing people I love, stressful situations in my life, or examples of my less-desirable self showing through. I recently had a nightmare this week about my current job; I wrote about it in a different post on here. Last night, I had another nightmare: I walked into a sandwich shop and the girl at the counter didn’t make my sandwich even though i had paid for it. When I went back, the manager was at the counter— an old woman with major RBF. When I explained the situation, she called me a brat, said it was all my fault, and refused to acknowledge what had happened, so I grabbed her by her hair, slammed her head on the counter, and then dragged her out into the shop. And then I got sued and imprisoned.

There have only been two nightmares I’ve had that made me wake up sobbing; the first was when I was a kid. My dad and I were playing in a field, and all of a sudden, he sprouted wings and flew away, and he never came back. The second was when I was older; I had a nightmare about my grandmother dying.

I don’t know why I’ve been having these nightmares recently; I’m thinking it’s just all the stress I’ve been under. Regardless, I wish they’d stop. They are really screwing with my sleep and making me wake up each day feeling badly about myself.
