The Road Not Taken

Lately, it has been a few time I jerked off from sleep bcoz of nightmares. Mmm well... it’s not really a bad dream but maybe it’s some kind of hypnagogic hallucination. Hypnagogic hallucination is episodes of seeing and hearing things as one is falling asleep. These dreams can be frightening and can often cause a sudden jerk and arousal just before sleep onset. For example, you may see yourself falling and awaken with a sudden jerk, just before impact. As the subject drifts off to sleep, you moves into a state that combines the environment, of which the subject is still partially aware, with a dream-like state of sleep, in which he might see people and hear them talking. The experiences are often frightening. Sleep deprivation, irregular sleep schedules, and medications all can predispose to occurrences of this phenomenon, last but not least, loneliness... :P


I was a kid who loves to dream and having fantasy in my own world. I still remember there’s plenty of time I dreamt the same plot of scene again n again. One that I still remember till now is where there is a big black ball rolling down towards me from the top of a hill. Then when I woke up from the sleep, I’m a good boy for a few days coz I thought it was the ball from hell chasing for bad kids like me… lolz…It’s just a fantasy after all…
