So, I woke up this morning feeling really off, you know? Had one of those dreams that just sticks with you. It was about a car wreck.
It started pretty normal, I think. I was driving, maybe down a road I kinda recognized, but it felt foggy, hazy, like dreams usually are. Wasn’t going particularly fast or anything. Just cruising along. The feeling was just… normal, maybe a bit tense, like I was heading somewhere important, but couldn’t remember where.
Then, out of the blue, another car just appeared. It felt like it came from nowhere. Bam! That sound, even in the dream, was jarring. Metal crunching, that horrible screeching noise. I don’t remember seeing much detail, just the sudden impact. It wasn’t like a movie explosion, more like a sudden, violent stop and a mess of twisted shapes.
The weirdest part was the feeling after the impact in the dream. It wasn’t pain, exactly. More like confusion, and this heavy, sinking feeling. Like time slowed way down. I remember trying to figure out what just happened, looking around in the dream-state fuzziness. Felt trapped, you know?
Waking Up Was Rough
I jolted awake right then. My heart was absolutely pounding in my chest. Took me a good few minutes just to realize it was a dream. I was tangled in my sheets, a bit sweaty. That feeling of dread from the dream was still hanging over me.
Got out of bed, splashed some water on my face. Tried to shake it off. Made some coffee, just sat there for a while staring out the window. It’s funny how a dream can mess with your head like that, right?
- Heart racing
- Feeling confused
- Sense of dread
I don’t usually put much stock into dreams meaning specific things. Maybe I saw something on TV, maybe it was just random brain noise. Who knows? But this one felt different, more vivid, more real somehow. It wasn’t scary in a monster-chasing-you way, but unsettling on a deeper level.
Anyway, just wanted to jot that down. It really threw off the start to my day. Hopefully, tonight’s sleep is a bit less… eventful. Just a weird experience I felt like sharing.
