Night terror
Aug. 30th, 2009 01:08 amJust now 1 AM. Home from girls night a bit, just rolled over to try to get to sleep. I'm laying there, thinking rambling thoughts (I have no idea what about, they're completely gone) and right on the edge of sleep, I close my eyes and -bang-, I'm staring through a window at a horse rearing up as it's struck by lightning. Broad daylight.
Upwelling dread/fear that I'm still coming down from a little. It hit me really hard, startled me awake. The horse was spotted, maybe like an appaloosa but very spotty, dark brown or black and white. I think I heard it scream, in that split second image, but my mind might be filling that in after the fact. The context - however little of it there is - seems to be of the front of the house, as if I were looking out from the front door or the windows in the dining room. I started having a thought not unlike, 'wait, that's not a moose...' but it was all very fast, fast as a blink.
