I Have Weird Dreams When I Sleep During The Day

Day-mares=Bad dreams during the day

I once read somewhere in a magazine about how the dreams you have in the day are probably real, predicting the events of the future.

I have had nightmares since forever, so it always made me feel better to believe that the dreams I have at night are not real. They can be as bad as they want to be, at the end of the day its just a dream.

But it put just that much pressure on the dreams I had during the day. They had to be pleasant dreams, they had to be about the things I want, so if they really come true- I would get something out of it.

I used to believe it oh-so-strongly when I was little, but as I grew up I started to realize it probably wasn’t true at all. But I couldn’t take the risk.

I fell asleep just half an hour ago and had a weird dream. I had a dream about an intruder who had entered our house. When I tried calling the police, no one answered. When he attacked me with a knife, I somehow was able to grab it from him and bore holes into his body with it, all the things I’d never be able to do in the real world. Or even like to see on the tv.

I woke up with a jolt, heart racing, mouth dry, but relieved that if was just a dream.
