Nightmare 1

       Iam waterskiing in the ocean, feeling expectant and happy.   

   Ihaven’t waterskiied in years, but I’m with friends (friends I can’t identify)and confident.  

   I ski for a while and then find myself, having dropped the rope, in the middleof the ocean, all alone, no boat in sight.   

   The air is chilly and it’s getting dark.

Nightmare Five

            I hardly ever remember my dreams, but recently I recordedthree nightmares from a single night, which I remembered perfectly.  

          Last night these were joined by a fourth thatwove together incidents and themes from the first three, as well as othersignificant aspects of my “real” and dream lives.  

          I went to my computer quickly to capture this latest disturbance andfound that I couldn’t locate my previous nightmare document, entitled “TheThree Nightmares.”
