Two nightmares I had years ago, but stayed with me:
1. I was 7-8 years old, and I had a dream that my mom was in a wheelchair.
2. More recently (like 10+ years ago) I had a dream that me and some unknown love of my life were at a bowling alley. Something happened, and she was on the ground hurt.
Suddenly, I'm trying to give her air with one of those oxygen masks emergency crews have in ambulances, the kind with the air bladder you have to manually squeeze. The bladder was light blue, and I remember feeling the seam where it's sealed shut in the palm of my hand. I'm looking down at her, but I can't see her face. Partly because of the mask, partly because there's just nothing there to see because this person isn't real. I know she's dying, and I'm trying to be brave while telling her it'll be alright. And then I woke up.
Both of those messed me up for a day or two after having them.
Most recently, I've had a few dreams where me and my ex/current friend were back together romantically. Waking up and facing reality just kills me after some of them.
