Nightmares and waking up



Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night in terror from a nightmare? Well I have...The first few minutes are the worst.

Everything gets blurry, still in panic you look for the monster in the room you have nearly escaped. Every object in the room seems unfamiliar and you can not understand if you are awake or still dreaming. You pant, sweaty or ice cold, you check every each corner in the room. Then comes the hardest part, you try to persuade yourself that it was all a dream. 


You try to tell yourself that you are not dead or followed by a vampire/ghost/Monster of your choice. 
Your loved ones are still alive,you didn't fail the exam etc. That takes a few minutes or more but the after effect is worse. You shiver half in relief half from the horror. You say a prayer, grateful that it was all a nightmare, but somewhere deep inside the horror still lingers. The possibility of it being true sends shivers down your spine. Than you say a prayer if you are a somewhat spiritual person and try going back to sleep. 



What I am trying to tell is waking up from a nightmare takes some time. One must be patient, my eyes are just adjusting to the dim light, my heart still beats in terror of the nightmare, my mind is recovering from a hurricane. I will regain my senses, I am sure of it but I need time. I must wake up and I will, so that I can see everyone's true colours. 


As for emptiness, is it a coincidence you think that everytime one enters the cave of the half death the other one becomes a night guard. Just waiting for an opportunity, that's all and some courage. I know monsters don't exist anymore but still one must regain consciousness and clearity of mind. Patience is much needed. The morning will come and then the doves will be there at your window  sill.
