The Night Rod Serling Wrote My Nightmare

**I wrote this in another thread, wanted to share with you yet another messed up thing my mind did.**

I once had a massive anxiety dream that had me as a passenger in a small plane, experiencing the POV(Point-of-view) of the pilots. I witnessed them having some kind of issue staying up, beginning their violent plummet downward, which I felt, and both of them were crying out for dear life as various alarms beeped and bonged. The plane shook side-to-side, and I could hear metal tearing and glass breaking as the fuselage noisily squealed and roared, dropping like a boulder through the night air.

I woke up, completely f-ing freaked out, right before they hit.

To bring me back into reality, I turned on the TV. It was the Yankee game, in a big timeout. Apparently, an umpire had been injured by a baserunner and was being taken to the hospital.

Across the bottom of the screen, words crawled from left to right: "STAY TUNED FOR ALL THE LATEST ON THE COMMUTER PLANE CRASH ON THE 11 O CLOCK NEWS".

I turned white as a ghost. I didn't sleep. It took me a while to process that one.

Good grief. That would be disturbing and too "you've entered the Twilight Zone" for most anyone, I think.

@Piper Indeed. Probably wouldn't make a good episode, but it was such a visceral experience--it's like I was there, then turning on the TV to see the game in a time out, etc.
DrWatson · 70-79, M
That would have freaked me out as well!

@DrWatson It was messed up. The timeline doesn't match up, but I might have been there.

My older brother has his private pilot's license, every time he tried telling me that flying is safer than driving there would be a breaking news report of a private plane crash somewhere in the US or Canada within 24 hours. After I pointed this out to him a few years ago he stopped saying that to me, my ass never leaves the ground.
@uncalled4 That it is.

@NativePortlander1970 I'll admit that Twilight Zone has freaked me out more than once. Gf and I were watching an episode and some random time on a clock came up on the screen. [i]It was the actual time of day[/i]. We both freaked out and turned it off after it was done. Rod is messing with us.
@uncalled4 Talking Tina freaked me out one day when my cousins and I were watching it one day, when all of a sudden a younger cousin's Teddy Ruxpin started talking for no reason.
