I used to wake up dreaming I was fighting for my life. As well as the plain stress of the scenario, it meant going from 'full on adrenaline' to 'home in bed' in the raising of an eyelid; the deceleration is like walking into a wall in the dark.
One of my frequent dreams, it's a couple of times a week now, is that I'm rushing to catch a flight and I'm less than prepared, however, it's still a little stressful and, honestly, it's becoming monotonous.
So. Last night, I was dreaming of needing to get to a flight; I have to get to London, but that's doable; I even know what time I should be checking in, which is new, it's usually just 'this evening' when I don't even have tickets, and I'm still trying to pack while being distracted by people.
Last night, the 'people' distraction was my family. My father had organised that we shall all take a coach, see some sights, go for a meal and chill before I get to the Heathrow. It's going to be tight actually getting into London, getting a meal and getting over to the airport, let alone the rest of the itinerary. And what do I say?
"Y'know, I'm starting to have dreams about this sort of thing."
Fortunately, I woke up at around that point and the effect was far less painful than walking into a wall in the dark, although the 'damnit! look at the TIME!' shock rated at about 'a cup of cold water down the back', for comparison purposes.
