Awaken by a terrible dream

[iNTeNSeBLue98]

I was up at 2am because the dog was up with a airball or something. It was warm in the bedroom so I turned on the a/c and went back to bed. I woke up 2 hours late, much in the same manner as I did a few days after we put our dog to sleep last year.

I was going to roll it off as a bad dream and go back to sleep, but something was telling me to check on my 80yo GM, who lives alone. My cell phone's battery is nearly kaput and I don't have long distance on the land line.....I have just enough power to call my mom and check in - it's 4am and I'm a bit of a wreck.

Mom called GM, then called me back. All is well. I'm still slightly shaken, but I'll be all right in a little bit. Boy, do I hate that feeling.

That'll teach me - eating cereal that contains sweet pieces of strawberries before bedtime. I know better than to eat something sweet close to bedtime. I almost always have insane dreams when I do that.

I hate that feeling. I've only had a ocuple of doozies that I can recall.
One, I was up at my family's cabin with some friends. It was the Sunday morning that we were going to leave. Well, the dream took place at the cabin, on the sunday morning, the same people, and the time was the same. In the dream, I dreamt that my cabin room mate was trying to attack me. My friend was kind of watching in deisbelief as I was starting to "Scream" in my dream. My best friend heard me, came into the room and as soon as she touched me, I woke up easily.

Then, a couple of nights ago, had another dream about being attacked. This time, I woke up the moment I was punched in the dream.
