-Scream Dreams

Have you ever experienced a scream dream
In which you are terrifyingly scared 
You attempt to scream in the dream
Yet no noise is released just air!

As you lay asleep in the real world
You are making strange whimpering sounds
The scream in the dream never materialises 
Before you wake and are earth bound

For the first time ever a few weeks ago
I actually was able to scream in my dream
As my husband lay asleep on the couch
In front of the t.v screen

Awoken by continual blood curdling screams
The loudest he had ever heard
He ran into our bedroom
Thinking l was being murdered

Decades and decades of unleashed  dream screams
Were released from me in one night
Leaving me feeling shattered and shaken
And giving my husband the fright of his life
