I have this reoccuring dream (yes, I do sleep sometimes) where I’m with my school, and we’re on a field trip. For some reason, my teachers have chosen to take me on a field trip to the top of tallest building in the world. The only thing is, it isn’t finished being built yet. So we get to the top and it’s all scafolding and steel beams that we have to balance oursleves on. I have a terrible fear of heights, but in this dream I always look over the edge to see how high we are. The dream always ends with a friend of mine pushing me off the edge and I wake up before I even begin to fall. Each dream it’s a different friend pushing me off. And it’s no accident either. I can usually see their face and they look like they really want to push me over.

I know this all has to do with my fear of heights, but what am I to do? I could face my fear I suppose. Maybe in my next dream instead of waking up, I’ll come to terms with my fear and actually let myself fall. We’re pretty high up on the building so the fall to the ground would give me ample time to work out my feelings of my phobia, then I could wake up. But what if I don’t work it out in time and I actually hit the ground. Then I’ll be dead. If you die in your dreams do you die in real life? Like in The Matrix? I’d like to get over this fear, but I’d rather not be dead. I have plans with my girlfriend this weekend. How am I going to explain all this to her? I can’t break these plans just because I died in a silly dream. Maybe I’ll save the dream until next week. Or maybe in a couple of weeks for my study break. Or maybe I’ll just stay awake. Damn. I think I have a new fear: going to school. Oh wait, I meant to say ‘Going to Sleep’. That’s right, um, sleep. Not school. Who’s afraid to go to school? Not me. heh.
