So recently I've been having more nightmares. Last night was very odd. I've heard that sugar intake before bed causes nightmares. I did have three doughnuts late last night. So, this dream is like a mental paralysis. It was as though my brain was malfunctioning. I couldn't make sense of anything, just total confusion. I was struggling to make sense of basic letters, words. It was as though I couldn't complete a thought. I believe I remember letters and numbers floating around in the air, lights were flashing and I was slowly spinning. At the end I'm looking down a hallway and this evil woman pokes her head out of a door. The lights are flashing more violently at this point and she's gazing at me. I just have this sense that she's pure evil. It's been so long since I've felt so terrified in a dream. It was like she was there to suck my soul out of me. I also remember now that before this I was dreaming about being in an airport and dealing with Muslims. It was strange because they were like the TSA and I was just trying to get through security.
I think that, perhaps, nightmares are formed by our subconscious to make us more aware, to challenge us. It's like with a lightbulb. The greater the resistance the more brilliant the light.
Edit: Also, I almost forgot. As I was coming out of the dream and into the waking life I was saying something to the effect,"I don't want to be here" out loud. So, when I woke up I heard myself saying ...ant to be here.
