I haven't really had one before. At least nothing to this extent.

I dreamt of a ball with a large star on it. It may be filled with water, I'm not sure anymore. What I am sure is that i was trapped inside, restricted. Unable to move, I struggled and struggled until I was awaken to feel that my movements were indeed limited. I jumped out of bed, frighten, unfamiliar with my surroundings. A concerned voice asked me if I was okay. I didn't answer her, I didn't know how to answer her. I returned to bed.

I later told her of my experience. She laughed. I did too to hide my fears, not of the dream but of my reaction afterwards. I never had a dream like this before, I never felt this way before. And the fear of the unknown is enough to keep me awake.
