My aunt wakes me up in a rush. “We have to go!” I jump out of bed with my clothes already on. My brothers join us as we burst out the back door. It's raining outside, with huge crashes of lightning that like up the night sky like fireworks. I'm terrified and confused. We begin to run, sprint. We cut in between house trying to distance ourselves from something-but what? Why were we running? I ask my aunt who is chasing us. She says, “he's coming, we need to get away!” We run for what seems like hours, and I become exhausted. I trip over a bush. A darkness completely overruns my line of sight. I hear a heavy breathing, almost a growl. Then I wake up. This is a nightmare I had several times as a younger kid. I always woke at the same point, in a cold sweat, terrified. Another dream I had only once was very odd. I am sitting on a bench in a park, with huge trees surrounding the edge of the park limits. The sun is shining brightly and hot. I look up, stare into the sun, and suddenly I bite down and clench my teeth together. Then, my teeth shatter like glass, falling to the ground. Dreams are very interesting things. I believe them to be a jumble of information our subconscious relays to our minds as we sleep, as our body regenerates. I don't think our dreams mean as much as some think. Dreams can be interesting and fun. I have had dreams, even recently, where I was consciously aware of my state of dream and could manipulate what I did. I decided to fly. It was crazy.
