Do you ever have nightmares? I had the weirdest scariest nightmare last night. My sweet husband loves scary movies, and truthfully I don’t mind them. However I always try and watch something else directly before bed, because before I fall asleep I think A LOT. There are a million thoughts running around in my head, and if I watched a scary movie, then guaranteed that will cross my mind before I fall asleep. So we watched Gothika last night at my parents.
We got home around 10pm, and I try to head to bed between 11 - midnight when I have work in the morning. So at 11 I crawl into bed, and Jared starts to watch “I survived”, which is about people who survive life threatening situation. It’s a really good series on BIO. On this particular episode this woman’s husband went completely nuts and decided he wanted to kill her. She got divorced and a restraining order but he started to stalk her, and eventually broke into her home and almost beat her to death.
This is what we were watching as I fell asleep.
My nightmare was terrifying, because instead of me being the victim, I was the criminal! I was sneaking around in dreamland, and stalking people, and then taking joy in hurting them. I was watching myself in my dream, and was so disgusted by my own behavior. It was so weird to look at me, and hate on myself in dreamland. I was being caught and punished, when I woke up. I woke up all sweaty and gross, and had to force myself to open my eyes to admit the dream was over, as I went back to bed I had to go over good thoughts in my head for a solid 5 minutes, because I hate falling asleep again, and being back in that same horrible dream. You know that feeling? It is the worst.
The moral of the story.. don’t watch scary movies/ series before bed. You won’t sleep well.
