It Gave Me Fever
I think I had a nightmare last night. The worst part about it is I am not sure if I did or not. I woke up three different times in the evening, each time covered in sweat and restless. The last time I woke I felt kind of dizzy and disoriented, almost like you feel when you wake up in a hotel room and forget that you fell asleep there in the first place. Unable to fall back alseep and needing to remove some layers of clothing, I sat and tried to figure out what had woken me in the first place. But I couldn't exactly think clear. First off, no matter how much i looked at the clock the time wouldn't register in my mind; all I saw were jumbled letters and numbers. AT one point I could have sworn it was 8:30, but i knew that was impossible since it was dark out and I knew i went to bed around midnight. In complete puzzlement I tried to lay back and relax but everywhere on my bed felt hot, like my blankets were the kind you can plug in and they become heated. I tore off all my covers, threw down all my pillows and opened my window but the heat and sweat continued. Now off the time, the only thing I could think about was how hot I was, and this earie photograph in my mind. It was a black and white picture of a roadside car wreck. Nobody was around, everything was still but a cell phone was ringing from inside the car. It was a small silver camry pushed into the ditch and laying on its side. In my mind I could see all this crystal clear; so clear it made me think I had seen it in a movie or the news earlier. But it held no relevance still. All the image did was keep me awake and invoke a sense of agitation. I think, something, somewhere, was telling me that there was a car somewhere on the highway that needed help but the people inside couldn't reach their cell phones. I know it all sounds really superstitious or maybe even a little telekonetic, but I continued to sweat, twist, and see this silver camry until I could see the sun peaking through my blinds.
I am sleepy now. I think I am going to go take a nap in the sunshine of my porch.
