i awoke from a deep slumber, in a cruel andterrible way. the reason for this is the dream that shoke me to the core. the worst dream i think i have ever had. a monumental nightmare that can only be described as my own personal terror. this dream played on my worst fears and made them so real that i felt my body burning in the firey heat. that i heard the screams of the passengers around me. that i felt the g-force as the plane crashed to the ground. if you could not tell my nightmare was a dream that all too well could become a reality.
the dream began with my boarding a United Airlines flight to Iowa. i have no idea what would drive me to want to go to Iowa but that is where i was going. i was on a medium sized plane not a 757 or a 777 but more like a 737. large enough to make me feel safe but small enough to handle to load that goes to Iowa. i sat in my aisle seat reading my new book. we sped off the runway and gained momentum to take off. we reached a certain altitude and the plane's engines exploded. we were sent careming out of control towards the earth. this felt so real. i felt my gut slide up my spine. that feeling you get on roller coasters only amplifiy it 3 times! i said a prayer and was determined to die happy. i said thank you for the life i was given and the life i have lived. i prayed for my family and friends not to mourn me but to live everyday for me. i prayed that my death be a swift one and seconds after i said amen the plane crashed. flames bellowed around me. i felt the searing heat and fire consume my body and heard the screams of my fellow passengers. i had to force myself to wake up. i had to tell myself that this was a dream and that i had to wake up. for they say if you die in your dreams you are surely not going to wake up. that is when i woke up and wept.
i cried for one of my worst terrors in turbulance and flying. i get sick to my stomach sometimes thinking about it.
