Do you have those super scary dreams you are being chased? Usually, you're in a forest, trying to weave through the maze of nature without being caught. I recently had one of these dreams, and they are not fun.I wake up with increased anxiety and just don't feel ready to take on the day...
Prey in the Night
In the dark of night
I am seen as his prey
Terrified, being chased
Through a pitch black forest
Trees dotting my path
Sharp branches and knobby roots
Careful, or I'll fall
And be claimed by my predator
Coming to a clearing
The woods open up
The moon shines like a diamond
Lighting my journey
There's a cliff ahead
An abrupt end to the ground
My fear escalates
Energy coursing through my veins
I try to scream for help
But nothing than a whisper
Erupts from my lips
My pleas cannot be heard
And then I'm falling
Plummeting toward the earth
No help in sight
Yet I never land
Is it just me, or are these dreams always SO weird?!?!
