I was accompanied by a friend who had recently betrayed my trust. We entered a stairwell, locked the door, and proceeded down the stairs silently. Suddenly... snakes appeared everywhere. My friend screamed, ran to the bottom of the stairs, and slammed the door behind her. At first, I was frozen with fright. When I managed to get to the door...it was locked. I was alone with hundreds of snakes. I screamed for her to unlock the door, but she never returned. Then of course, I woke up.

As in this dream that begins with me waking up. As I opened my eyes, I noticed that my light bulb had been replaced by electric wires going out the window. I headed for the backdoor to see where they lead. As I passed the kitchen, I glanced over to see a toddler with big blue eyes. Outside... the wires took me to the edge of the yard, where my Aunt Linda was standing beside a crib with blue linen. As I walked up closer, I could see there was no baby in it. I said "The baby is inside." As she turned to look at me, I woke up... again.
Later, I asked her if she was gonna have a baby. She said "No" and laughed. A couple of weeks after that... she finds out she is soon to be a mom. She had a boy with big blue eyes.

When I was young & lived in a foster home, I had this repetitive nightmare. Every night... over & over, I dreamed that I was walking down what seemed to be a sidewalk. Looking all around, all that could be seen was darkness and the seemingly endless path. As I glance behind me, I am frightened to see that this thing on which I stand is rolling up. I start running as fast as I can. Each time I look back, it is closer. I run in desperation, while a feeling of hopelessness sinks into my heart. There is nowhere to go, no escape. Once again, I turn my head only to find my demise right on my heels. Fortunatly, this is the point where I would awaken.

More to come.
