The Dream Thread

[Brittany]

Last night I dreamed my dad crawled into bed with me. He kept shoving me and I was like "WTF? Stop it! I'm sleeping!" It seems like I was only half asleep...there was the whole thing with my dad but I was clearly aware of being in bed, what time it was, etc.

Then my dad put his arm over my throat. It was really heavy and it hurt my neck and made it hard to breathe. I started gasping "Dad, stop! You're hurting me!" But he just kept pressing harder down onto my neck, until I couldn't breathe at all. I struggled to shove him off of me but he was too strong. There was a moment of complete panic where I had no air, I could feel the burning in my lungs, and I realized he was going to choke me to death.

Then, a thought burst into my head. "This is NOT my father." I stopped pushing against him with my body and pushed with my mind, sending my will out like a torpedo. I felt the pressure begin to lift and I woke up gasping for air. Tons of fun.


Thanks, Meerie.
