It's tough to remember lots of specifics but I do remember that when I was about 7 or 8 I would have bad nightmares and night terrors. In these dreams I would be alone in various places but all places were very out of my control. One in particular was just an image of quickly moving clouds like those on a time-lapse video of the weather. I remember this would scare me because I remember feeling it was so huge so fast and so out of my control that it would overwhelm me. |
