Nightmares

Typically I'm a person that rarely dreams and I haven't had a nightmare in years. Usually, the only time I have nightmares is after I watch a scary movie like when I watched the first 10 minutes of a Hannibal movie when I was nine years old and I had recurring nightmares for months. As I've gotten older they've just gone away. However, I woke up this morning at 8:30 am afraid to go back to sleep because of how real my nightmare was. I literally woke up short of breath and utterly terrified to my core.

The nightmare was that I was in a depressed state and I wondered off by myself. I ended up going to this place where teenagers frequently went to do "bad things" however I was there quite early so barely anyone was around. I just hung out there for a bit until it got later and I left while a whole bunch of teenagers were heading over there. I ended up waiting to cross a busy road with some other people who were leaving as well. All of a sudden an ambulance pulls up and we run over to it hoping to get a ride or something. Then a police car and a whole bunch of emergency vehicles drive up. The paramedic tells us that there is a massive bear mauling going on right where I was a few minutes ago. I then hear the horribly realistic sounds of a bear rampage. I run off with the other people in my group and end up running toward the ocean. The dream ended when I climbed through the window of my old house.

I'm not sure if it sounds as scary as it was but I really felt like I was there. I felt like there really was a bear nearby that was killing tons of people and could come after me. I was very relieved when I woke up. I'm sure other people get this too but whenever I dream they are incredibly real and it shocks me when I wake up in my normal life.
