Nightmares

I find nightmares to be such a curious oddity.  It has been longer than I can remember since my last one.  I had completely forgotten the realism.  The raw sense of dread, fear, and hopelessness rooted in my chest upon awaking at a situation I was stuck in and had no control of.  The ironic reality is that I do have control, at least I should have control.  The feeling is so real its practically edible.  The mind is a wondrous powerful entity of the body.  So little of it is directly under our control and its possibilities are so far past our own understanding.
