I saw the teddy bear in the chair at the desk on the other side of the room, and its arms and legs began undulating like wind dancers, while its head and body remained still. That was too much for me, and I completely lost my shit and just started screaming. My daughter reached up from the side of the bed and started shaking my arm. Then I woke up for real, and it was my wife shaking my arm, because I was actually screaming, although it was more of a weak, falsetto scream. I told her I was having a nightmare, and her response was something along the lines of "no kidding." She offered me a hug, but what I wanted was space, so I got out of bed and sat in a chair, trying to shake all the images out of my head. I was exhausted, but short of breath, so I went downstairs to take my inhaler. I sat on the couch in the living room, but I could feel my head nodding, and a new dream starting while I was still awake. 4/11
