Ok i'm having some serious trouble ending this paper. If someone has any sort of ideas please post them!


You're standing in a grass meadow, the sky is blue, the sun is out, and there isn't a cloud in the sky. You break into a sprint and leap into the air. Surprisingly you don't come back down. You're flying now, and enjoying the feeling of weightlessness. You've never felt so free before. Suddenly the environment changes. The blue sky becomes completely black, the bright sun disappears, and the meadow is replaced by hard rock. You began to fall and close your eyes. Doing so doesn't really help, you know you're going to hit the ground eventually. You do hit it, and hard, you open your eyes to find you've fallen out of your bed. Satisfied that the dream is over you get up, and crawl back into bed. "It was only a dream," you say to yourself. "No a nightmare."

Dreams and Nightmares are actually somewhat similar. Both occur while you're sleeping, both are nothing more than images and sounds in your head, and you have control over both although you don't realize it. You have dreams and nightmares every night, even though you don't remember close to half of them. Sometimes they mean something but this isn't always the case. People tend to make to much out of a vague dream or nightmare, coming to some crazy conclusion when it didn't really mean anything!

Dreams are nightmares are more different than they are similar. Dreams are can be strange, but never scary. Nightmares on the other hand are always a little scary, and more than a little strange. I've had dreams that become nightmares, but never before have I had a nightmare become a dream. It seems that if the dream starts off scaring you, then it's going to stay that way. You're also more likely to remember a nightmare than a dream. More often than not you'll wake up during a nightmare, and sleep during an entire dream. Sometimes dreams help clarify what you were thinking about when you were awake, and give you an answer you need. On the other hand, nightmares always leave you wondering what it meant, and if it meant anything at all. (I repeat usually neither dreams or nightmares mean anything! Just making sure you understand this.)

There isn't anything you can do to keep your dreams or your nightmares away from you. If they come, they come, and that's all there is to it. If you're constantly having a bad nightmare eventually it will go away. Just give it a little time.

That isn't a bad idea Conan, but wouldn't that be getting off the subject a little?
