I Need Help.

Have you ever seen the movie Lara Croft :The Cradle of Life?  You know the part where they are walking through the dark valley to get to the mountain that has the Pandora ’s Box and the shadow creatures come out of nowhere and suck you into the depths of hell/nothingness??  You know how if you stand still they won’t see you and you won’t get taken?

I had a dream last night or actually this morning that I was in a tower in New York City on the morning of 9/11 and I witnessed all of New York being filled with smoke from the two towers falling.  Everyone inside the building thought it was the end of the world and went into survival mode.

So we are in the building and for some reason we are eating the rigatoni I made for Queenie and me last night for ‘Healthy Movie Night’ and all of a sudden I start hearing screaming from the back room.  It turned out one of my friends was missing but there was blood and guts on the wall where they were sucked through by the monsters. 

It was then that I saw a small glimpse of one moving in the room.  I yelled out to my friend to stop moving but they didn’t.  At that moment they were sucked into oblivion and I ran like hell while the thing was busy killing my co-worker.

I got to what I thought was a safe place and in that instant my eyes opened and I saw my real reality of being late for work by a half hour.  I wanted to jump my ass out of bed like nobodies business but was unable too due to the fear of being sucked into my walls by some invisible shadow demon.

Yes - I’m a dork and thought the dream was real.

Eventually I talked myself out of the whole dream thing and got myself in the shower.  Talk about waking up in an instant!  This is why I can’t watch scary movies.  I mean, I can’t even watch a Tomb Raider flick without having a nightmare.

Crap.
