Insomnia

When you have acute insomnia, you're not really asleep or awake. You are trapped within that fine line of diluted reality and opaque dreams. When you have re-occurring dreams of a horrific nature, and they become more vivid and terrifying each night, your desire to sleep diminishes. The only way I've slept at all in the past few nights is out of pure exhaustion. This snake creature gets a little more realistic every night. It seems to be mocking me, as it blows kisses at me, and devours my poor father night after night. They say re-occurring dreams are either a result of severe trauma, or a sign of the early onset of insanity. I'm sure stress is playing a huge role in all of this, but the less I sleep, the worse it becomes. Sleep deprivation is extremely dangerous to ones psyche. I really need to get some good R.E.M. sleep minus this snake... Maybe tonight... Hopefully tonight...
