> The second worst nightmare I ever had, when I was a kid, was a "dream within a dream". I had been dreaming that a werewolf was after me. It was an awful, long-drawn-out scary chase dream. Anyway, at the most scary part, just as it was about to get me, I woke up with a jolt, all shakey and sweaty and gasping, to find myself safe in bed in my room. I lay there for the standard few minutes of "OH THANK GOD, IT WAS ONLY A BAD DREAM!!" relief, looking around at my nice familiar room and generally getting my heart rate back to normal.

No wonder you didn't want to sleep again. That dream is really scary! It freaked me out just reading about it, I would have hated being in it!
