God damn.... Well, I've just decided that Freddy Krueger is without a doubt one of the scariest concepts I've ever come across. Why? Because he's based on a very real concept. Nightmares. And when you happen to have a nightmare about him, especially when its one of those rare and scientifically confounding waking nightmares that I've had more than once... it really gets ya.

So here's what happened. I was laying in bed. Lights on. Not tired at all. Just about a half hour ago. I was watching a movie... perhaps the inspiration for the nightmare, as it was indeed a Freddy movie, Wes Craven's New Nightmare, which is undoubtadely the scariest of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies.... and I swear I do NOT remember getting tired, or falling asleep or ANYTHING! But apparently, sometime during the movie, the dream started.

And IN the dream, I was watching... yup. Wes Craven's New Nightmare. And this was, by the way, the most vivid dream I have EVER had in my entire life. Most of my dreams are foggy and hazy, but this one was a direct continuation of what I'd been doing when I must've fallen asleep, and it seemed SO INCREDIBLY REAL! That's never ever happened to me befre.

Anyway, as I'm watching the movie the phone rings. So I go into the kitchen to get it, I pick it up, and a REALLY creepy voice says "One, two, Freddy's coming for you!"

About that time, the window in the back door, which is located in the kitchen, exploded, and Freddy's claw came crashing through.

And THAT's when I woke up.

The creepiest thing about the whole deal was that what woke me up was the fact that Aradin, my sister's German Shepherd was going absolutely berserk in her kennel. She was thrashing around, whimper, and howling like she'd just been hit by a truck. This is my sister's trained, attack dog, that ran face first into a tree once and didn't flinch. I let her out of her kennel and her ears were down, her tail was between her legs, and she was shivering worse than I've ever seen a dog shiver before.

If I'm lyin' I'm dyin' folks...

Perhaps I shouldn't have used that terminology. Oh well...

The sleeping process is going to be tons of fun tonight, I can tell...

Hey Tim, Josh. I had a couple of "dreams" like that but the one I remember the most happen when I was driving.
I had gotten my permit a while before but I was drving with my dad in the front seat and my mother and brother in the back of my big brown car.
Anyway it was at night and drivein along Johnson Hill Rd toward the beltline. I remember another car coming in the other lane and thinking that car is going to hit me. And then we did a remember the car jerking to a stop and sliding abit and i turned to look at my father wanting to see what is reaction was going to be.
But he just staired at me and said "what?" I looked back and the road and the car was a little ways off.
I swerved to the side and missed the car. My dad said "what you do that for?" I replyed "we were going to hit that car." He looked back and saw the car was partly in our lane. "yea, your right good job."
It was the weirdest and scariest thing i ever experanced. True stroy- Josh

I don't believe I've ever had a nightmare I remember, but I once had one of those naked dreams... talk about scary.
