However....


I will never forget my worst nightmare. It happened about 3 years ago, and it was very vivid and realistic with total detail. I was somewhat older, and I was sitting in a cafe in a small town in central america, maybe Costa Rica. I was with a couple of friends and my wife had gone down the dusty little street with a couple of other friends to do some shopping.

All of the sudden I get this tremendous pain in my chest and I fall backwards on the floor. My friends are crouching over me. Suddenly my perspective changes and I'm hovering over them looking down at my body. One of them yells "Somebody get Vino!" (My wife). Another friend stands up and as they run out the door I follow them, floating about 20 feet above them. They run down about a block to a small shop and run in to tell my wife, while I follow. She screams, and runs, crying, back down the small street and into the Cafe, me still hovering over her. She is holding my body, crying, and yelling, and I'm trying to talk to her, from my position floating above her, trying to tell her it will be alright.

All of the sudden an unseen force starts to pull me away, upwards. I pass through the roof and continue to accelerate upwards, against my will, but somehow I can still see Vino, crying, and getting smaller and smaller. I'm screaming now that I want to go back, I don't want to be separated from her.... I'll do anything, and go anywhere, but I don't want to be apart from her!

...and then I woke up.


It was so vivid and devastating that I pulled her to me and held her, crying, for like 15 minutes. I don't mind admitting it. It was by far the most intense dream I've ever had.
