scary dream

Last night I had the strangest dream.


I didn’t realize I was asleep. In the dream I was awake and in the car with Mendy. She was driving. We were coming up a hill and we could see the lights of the oncoming car. Mendy thought it was in our lane so she swerved to avoid the car but she was going too fast so we launched into the trees. I was dying and then I realized that this was a dream and that I was awake and that I needed to open my eyes! It was an urgent need. But I was caught and I couldn’t wake up. I used to have those dreams all of the time. Something pressing me down down down and I am unable to open my eyes or escape. I finally got my eyes open just enough to see my room and then I was free. But I felt the things that were holding me down whisper to me to not go. I felt them say that when I awoke. Which is weird. They should have stayed part of the dream. When I did awake I was having trouble breathing and my heart was hurting. I asked God to forgive me and please allow my name to be written in the book of life. I couldn’t decide if I was dying or not. I went right back to sleep though.

What is weird is that this kind of did happen just the other night. We were driving home from the airport and Mendy took a corner too fast. We could have had an accident but she was able to control it. I know I did feel momentary fear that we were going to crash. I felt very, what is that word when you have no control over about what is about to happen?

So did I have a dream or was it just my brain reliving my fear from the night before?

What were the physical symptoms all about?
