I want to go one night without having a nightmare. Is that too much to ask? The nightmares aren't repeating, but that just makes it worse because I don't know what to expect.
I remember at one point in my nightmare I thought to myself "It's a dream, it's a dream. Wake up!" I thought that if I tried hard enough I would wake up, but I was too weak.
The nightmares aren't scarring or anything. They don't interrupt my daily life, but they do make my sleep suck and I wake up tired. They're often things that I know won't happen, like the zombie apocalypse.
In a way, I like them. They make me think and solve problems. I had to figure out how to unchain my brother who was locked in a shed with a zombie while the four men who chained him laughed. I also had to figure out how to deal with two little four year old zombies who could think and talk. Pretty sure I ended up snapping their necks. Yes I know I'm an awful person.
I slept for ten hours but it still feels like I got none.
