Going Under (A nightmare retold)

Image from Google Images




The shutters go down


Lights turn to black


My concious self now at rest


Inside my head a story unfolds


That makes absolutely no sense




Frogs, turtles & fish


Surround me now


Theres an urgency to flee


But my feet are glued to the ground below


Waters rising, engulfing me




I fight like mad to free myself


From the fury of the tide


But the more I fight


The faster it flows


My freedom now denied




The water is rising up to my chin


My arms they flail about


I'm going under


I'm losing the fight


I'm starting to black out




Two strong arms they reach down under


Drag me from the liquid grave


I open my eyes


My lungs they fill


And from this nightmare I am saved




It was just a dream!

  4. Oh, freaky ! I've had those exact nightmares - imagining that I'm drowning. Then finally I throw off the blankets that I've somehow pulled over my head !! I'm sure I would have expired in just another few seconds.

    You captured the panic well with your words.

    Hope your weekend is going better than that !

  5. Very scary nightmare...they can seem so real. But it's a good sign that you were saved in your dream. Sometimes when I wake from a nightmare and am still in peril in the dream, I create my own happy ending so the negative feeling doesn't stay with me.
