Don't drink warm milk late at night?

Have you ever had

a nightmare?

The kind you just

can't wake up from?

The sort that makes you

feel as though

you are actually alive

within its power.

And the reality is

happening all around you

inside this mighty vision.

Furthermore in the real world.

As you sleep

and have this

awful time asleep.

Someone is trying so damn hard

to wake you up

for real

but just can't

bring you around.

The more they try

to arouse you

the harder it just gets

with no reaction

from you

coming around

at all.

They talk

and even shout your name.

Still no response

from you

in that

deep slumber.

The one

who is in turmoil land.

They then

try to wake you up

feeling frustrated, scared

as well as upset.

They just can't reach you.

And then they flick the

overhead light in the room

goes on.

Then slowly you start

to come alive again.

Thank God.

Waking up from this vivid horror

that was active within

your mind's eye.

All I can tell you.

This really does

creep you out.

At it happened to me last night.

And still, my skin gets goosebumps

from slight reminders

still to this

very day.

Nightmares are evil and horrible

and really scare the hell out of YOU.

Don't drink warm milk late at night.

This is a great piece Dawn.
But to answer your question, no, I have not.
I'm a lucid dreamer, and in most cases, I can wake myself up from the dream if it gets to messy.
in other cases, the human brain only dreams in r.e.m. sleep, not in deep r.e.m. Most nights, I write for long intervals until I crash to sleep and wind up in such a deep sleep that I don't dream.

I guess now I dream this way.

Wonder if that is the effect you would get from a couple of drams of scotch.
