Stressful Sleep

Last night, I had the strangest dreams....nightmares to be more specific. I went to bed upset and worried about something last night (see previous post), and I think that is probably why it happened.

It seems that I so rarely dream, or at least I rarely remember dreaming, since apparently every person dreams during their REM episodes. But every once in a while, I have these vivid nightmares, that are so detailed that they become almost tangible, and it is difficult to separate reality from the subconscious. Last night was one of those times.

I actually woke up shaking; I'm still pretty shaken over it. I guess because it wasn't fantasy-type situations I dreamed, but realistic ones. That made it so much more disturbing. And now I can't get these images out of my head.
