As the last Jewish person in the world I run through the woods in fear as a man with a knife hunts me down. He pins me to the corner pulls a knife to my neck as he is just about to add to his list when I awake in horror. This was a nightmare I had just before my teens and although I forget what I ate for dinner on Tuesday this nightmare still lingers. Here are two more of those memories that stay in my mind (below) although I can’t count the nightmares where individuals close to me appeared to die when my eyes were closed.
(1) It’s a family trip down a long bridge when suddenly the bridge cracks and we start to fall towards the water. I see myself drifting out of the car when I suddenly awake.
(2) I appear to be awake when suddenly thousands of bugs litter my floor. I throw down my blanket and run to my parents to rescue me and as I reappear in my room they are suddenly gone.
