...I wake up before a dream is over, or get startled in the dream and that causes me to wake up.
I have no clue, which is probably a good thing, how this dream would have ended, or how it started.
I was running, in the dark (which is not something I would do - run, but especially in the dark), and see a bench with a bum on it, so I start to move to the far side of the path and make sure I'm not making a noise, and all of a sudden he hops up and starts chasing me with a gun. I jumped and thats when I woke up. I'd like to think I kicked his a$$.
I usually don't remember my dreams when I wake up, even if they startle me awake.
