Everyone has those recurring bad dreams … what is your nightmare?

Mine is driving across a bridge that spans a deep gorge and suddenly there I am in my car, going through the railing and floating down into oblivion... I always awake right before I crash into the boulder strewn ground. It hits me every now and again and started as best I can remember, in my 20's or maybe early 30's.

I am driving a car as fast as I can. The car behind me keeps getting closer. A big angry wolf is driving. Suddenly I am running for my life. (Dreams are funny that way) The wolf's big blood dripping teeth are snapping at my legs. I can't run any faster. The wolf becomes my father and it's tearing at my legs. That is when I wake up screaming.

@SweetMae That's a scary one for sure. Scary enough to have you waking up screaming. I can't remember any of my dreams ever scaring me that much.

@Ontheroad I don't have that nightmare now as much as I used to.

@SweetMae At least there is that. Life is scary enough without having to be that scared when you sleep. Mine seems to come in waves. I'll get it a few times and then it can be a year or more before I get another wave.

@SweetMae Wow that one I can literally see and its very scary and the fact that its your father means something too. Especially because maybe your father is no good and the wolf turned out to be your father.
