A Nightmare 

Don’t eat lust before going to bed!” my mother used to tell me. “You might get a nightmare.” never believed her until it happened to me.

One late right, I felt very hungry. So I made myself a peanut-butter sandwich and a large cold glass of milk. After consuming them I went to bed.

Soon I drifted off into a troubled sleep. I dreamt that I was with a group of people looking for an old woman. I was not sure why we were looking for her but we all seemed very afraid of her. I was searching high and low for her in frightful places I had never been before. Sometimes I seemed to be flying while at other times I seemed unable to move.

After some searching I entered a darkened room and saw a figure sleeping on a bed. As I got nearer, the figure suddenly threw away the blanket, got up and stared at me. It was an ugly old woman with shiny golden teeth. She raised her claw-like fingers and walked ‘towards me. I wanted to run but was unable to hide.

The next moment I gave a muffled yell and found myself panting on my bed. My goodness, what a horrible nightmare it was! For a minute or so I lay on my bed not daring to close my eyes for fear of falling asleep again and continuing the nightmare. Then I sat on my bed until the horrible feeling got washed through my mind. From then onwards. I never eat just before going to sleep.
