Jesus Christ dude, that is definitely a nightmare. I used to have a recurring dream that was pretty scary but I am not sure I would call it a nightmare. I am not sure I have ever had a nightmare.

The dream was recurring in theme but the scenario would change. It started about grade six when my friends and I would have contests to see who could jump off the playground swing to go the farthest. My dream would be that I would jump and then realize I had severely underestimated and would be very hurt when I hit the ground. That theme continued with going over jumps on bikes, skiing, snowboarding, motorcycles, etc.

But I never once hit the ground. I would wake up a split second before I did. I am pretty sure it was an unconscious fear of biting off more than I could chew, getting in over my head, etc. The fact that the dreams stopped when I graduated from law school and got called to the bar reinforces that belief.

But now let me tell you about my favorite dream. My girlfriend came to visit me my first year in university. I was apparently having a dream where I was crawling though the desert in search of water to save the 2 of us. I climbed a huge sand dune, saw an oasis and turned around and yelled "This way. There is water this way!" To which she replied "What are you doing?" Then I woke up and realized I had gotten out of bed and had climbed up upon my desk. <insert shrug ascii>
