I wake up to my wife shaking me awake. "Trevor" she says, "Are you alright, you were screaming and breathing heavily." I look at her thoughtfully and then I explain what was going on. She listens and then says to me, " we should go see your psychologist about this, it has been happening for weeks. It is time they knew about it."
"There is a reason I haven't told him about this yet," I tell her, " If he knew, I would be checked into a mental hospital like that" he says while snapping his fingers. "Alright." She concedes, " I will let it pass this time, but it isn't going to be hidden forever."
The rest of the day went by uneventfully, it was the usual. But since you don't know, I will tell you. My wife made pancakes for breakfast, and then we took our 13 year old son and daughter to school, they go to a private school. We then came back home and then an hour later Mindy, my wife, went to work at the bank. I went to pick the kids up at 4 pm, then met my wife at home. We have dinner together, it was Mexican food tonight; we almost never cook dinner. And then we play monopoly for a few hours, and then go to bed.
But today was a little different...

So lets start off with my dream.
I knew that time was short, but i did not know exactly how short it was. After i got the call, i ran like nothing else, i had to save them, i knew i might not make it, but i had to try either way. As i saw the place go up in flames, my legs gave out, i just collapsed and began to scream out, I did not want this to happen, i could not handle it. So i just sat there and cried.
It just could not be true.
I woke up screaming.
