Fears

[sine_nixus]

As a child I had a recurring nightmare of being chased by a vampire in an old decrepit house set high up on a hill, with lightning flashing in the background. The whole thing was rather campy actually as I was in a group and I don’t remember the vampire being very skilled at hunting us down

I often have dreams like that, with me screaming my lungs out (or so I thought) only to find out that I. CAN'T. MOVE. Sometimes I pray (it helps), other times I fight the dream until I run out of breath. A few times I let it be, heck, I *know* I'm going to wake up soon anyway. How could I be sure of that I'd never know. I guess my damn survival radar shouts that it's pathetic to die that way.

So, I wake up.

I've asked around and the nightmare of being immobile is more common than I initially thought. Dunno why that is though.

Alternatively, aside from praying, you can try concentrating on just moving a finger or a toe. Haven't had the opportunity to try out that particular technique yet. =P
