A few nights ago I had the worst/scariest dream of my life. What made it scary was how real it seemed. In my dream my wife and I were driving down a road near our house. It was just after sunset, you know that time when it's still too light out for headlights to really be effective but too dark to drive without them. Anyway, we were talking as we drove, putting together a grocery shopping list. I had a Jack Johnson CD playing quietly.

Suddenly a deer jumped into the road right in front of us. I hit the brakes and tried to veer to the left to avoid hitting it, but hit it anyway. It came up over the hood of the car and came through the windshield. It's hidquarters hit me and knocked the breath out of me. As soon as the car came to a stop I pushed the deer away from me and looked over at my wife to see if she was okay. The head of the deer had gone through her side and she had been impailed by it's antlers.

She was still alive, but had blood all over her. Her eyes were wide with fear and pain. She was just looking at me, then said my name and died.

I woke up crying. It seemed so real during my dream, it was almost like a memory of something that had already happened, not just a dream. I tell myself that it wasn't real but I am really nervous about driving on that road now.
