A SWEET NIGHTMARE

I had a bad nightmare two nights ago. Actually, I am not sure what it was. 1) .................................. but it was pretty bad and weird. I was conscious of being in my room and lying on my bed. It was dark and silent. At first, I couldn’t see it clearly enough to understand what it was, but I saw something moving towards me. 2) ............... ..................., it would have gone away when I opened my eyes, but I was awake and it didn’t go anywhere. Then it became more visible and clearer. 3) .................................. . It was five metres away from me and looking into my eyes.

Although I was terrified, I couldn’t cry out. It was getting closer and I felt the room was getting darker. 4) .................. . At that moment the shape got bigger and leaned over me. I felt a heaviness on my body with a sharp pain as if needles entered my chest. I woke up covered in sweat.

It was nearly dawn and the curtains were open. What was that thing? Was it a dream within a dream?
5) .................................. . So it really happened! I was very scared and confused. I washed my face and tried to forget about it. I went out to the garden to get fresh air. There it was again! In the garden of my new next-door neighbor, I saw the big hairy and friendly dog! It ran towards me and gave a big, wet good morning kiss on my face.
