Only in dreams

Last night I had a nightmare so frightening I was whimpering in my sleep and Marc had to wake me up and calm me down.

I the light of day, it's not at all that scary--I was sleeping in my childhood bed and some intruders were trying to break in from the balcony. And now all I can think about is how much better the balcony doors were in my dream than they are in real life--leaded glass, transom, no ugly cream eyelet curtains.

Screw the intruders, I want that balcony back!
