for about 10 months I had a recurring nightmare in which I was always being chased by somebody. Usually it was people I knew, but it varied. It was always in really strange places, like an airport or a pool or an apartment complex. I always got away except for the very last one. I was being chased -this is really weird - Jerry Lewis and Alan Hale (the Skipper from Gilligans Island). Jerry caught me in the end, and I don't remember what happened after that. All I know is that I was terrified of going to sleep for a very long time. Sometimes I'd wake up with scratch marks on my arms, or I'd wake up crying. Now I can't sleep without at least one of my stuffed animals.
