I am so grateful that I can read your dreams and not have to experience them. Quite the night. You must have woken up feeling very unrested. I really liked the line "Something about the entire scene gripped my heart by its roots and yanked relentlessly until it came free;" well spoken, well written.

Lines like "The green muck was hard to swim through; it was thick and slowed me down; as if they were trying to pull me back down again." really added to the dream sequence and gave it the feeling of unrealistic apprehension, exactly as one would feel while dreaming.

I don't know if you keep a dream log but you should.

Either way, well written, well written.
