My dreams are not often remembered at morning.
Rarer still does a nightmare break through to my consciousness.
A nightmare is described as a bad dream. What substance of a bad dream, I believe speaks much to the character of the dreamer. Though in what ways, I’m not qualified to say.
My own nightmares, are not of beasts and demons. What causes me unease in sleep are not creatures that case fear and pain, but rather those IN fear and pain. These creatures take the form of friends, loved ones, and those who are not current in my life.
My most recent nightmare was of someone whom is gone from my life, though far too often fresh in memory. In the dream, she screamed, yelled and cried in pain. Angry word without meaning or form. Though I could not make sense of the sounds, their cause was clear. It was my own existence that was the cause for her suffering.
These are my nightmares.
