> Every. Night.
> Every FUCKING night ever since we moved into the motel, I have the same goddamn nightmare.
> It always starts out the same way. I would be somewhere doing something, everything is blurry and every sound is so muffled that I can't even distinguish or recognize voices. But the events seem to be the same every night.
> And then, it happens.
> Something pushes me off whatever I was standing on and I would start falling into the void, and I would keep falling for what would feel like forever. Eventually, I would land neck-first into the ground.
> Just as I land, I would wake up in cold sweat, my throat dry, and difficulty breathing.
> At least I don't scream when I wake up, or Danny would've had just as rough of a night as I always do. I don't want to freak the poor guy out and cause him nightmares because I keep screaming at night.
> I'm not superstitious, but some ponies say dreams can be visions of what will happen in the future. But thinking about that just makes me freak out even more.
> I thought about telling NightSwift about this reoccurring nightmare, but it probably won't help much. She's not exactly a psychiatrist.
> Well, I'm gonna try and get some sleep. It's almost sunrise.
