"Don't eat
just before going to bed!" my mother used to tell me. "You might get
a nightmare." How right she was. I never believed her until it happened to
me.
It was on a
night when I felt hungry just as I was about to go to bed. So I made myself a
peanut-butter sandwich and a large cold glass of milk. After consuming them I
went to bed.
Soon I drifted off into a troubled sleep. I
dreamt that I was with a group of people looking for an old woman. I was not
sure why we were looking for her but we all seemed afraid of her. Somehow we
had to find her. So there I was,searching
high and low for her in frightful places I had never been before.
Sometimes I seemed to be flying while at other times I seemed unable to move.
The whole atmosphere was one of fear, like a dreadful horror-movie in which I
was a victim.
After some
searching I entered a darkened room and saw a figure sleeping on a bed. As I
got nearer the figure suddenly threw away the blanket, got up and stared at me.
It was an ugly old woman with shiny golden teeth. She raised her claw-like
fingers and walked towards me.
I wanted to run
but was unable to. I tried to scream but found that I could not. In horror I
struggled and struggled to get away from the frightful woman.
The next moment
I gave a muffled yell and found
myself panting on my bed. My goodness, what a horrible nightmare it was! For a
minute or so I lay on my bed not daring to close my eyes for fear of falling
asleep again and continuing the nightmare. Then I sat up on my bed until the horrible
feeling passed. From then on I never eat just before going to sleep.
