Danger dreams

Early in the morning, I am lying on the beanbag taking a creative nap when I suddenly feel that my arm is on fire. I open my eyes to check and to my surprise my left arm really WAS on fire. Part of me wouldn't believe it. I remember I kept on telling myself, "this can't be real. I'm nowhere near a fire."

As I was saying this I saw the flames slowly recede then I saw my left arm (from elbow to fingertip) all burned and blistered. And then in moments, the burn markings were gone and my arm was pink, then tanned again.

I touched my arm to check and it was tender and hurt a bit ... like it just healed. I thought it was weird but didn't give it much thought.

I go back to sleep and then a few minutes later I start to have difficulty breathing. In my sleep it felt like a pillow was smothering me. With my eyes closed I actually saw and felt the pillow over my face. I struggle to wake up and breathe and when I finally manage to open my eyes as I struggle to breathe for a moment I saw the suggestion of a pillow hovering over my face.

I force myself awake and after a few seconds I can breathe again. I look around and I am still on the beanbag.

I find myself wondering ... who is trying to kill or scare me and why? And why on my birthday? Is there something I should know?

Dream journal

I often wake up in the morning more tired than when I went to bed at night. I don't always recall my dreams completely. Oftentimes I can only remember the tailend and as the day progresses I forget even that.

This is why I set up this dream journal. Upon waking the first thing I ever do is go to my PC I may as well get my dreams written down while I can. Then I can go back and read it and maybe figure it out.
