Holy crap that's creepy as hell.  Damn.  Creepy enough to get me to
de-lurk for a moment.

The most frightening dream I've every had was when a was a little kid,
maybe 3 or 4 years old.  It was the kind of dream that starts with you
waking up, and going through a normal day.  Near the end of the day I
went with my mom to the grocery store.  Somehow we got seperated, and
I ended up wandering around the store completely helpless and
terrified.  She left me there, and I eventually ended up crying myself
back to sleep.

When I woke up the next day, I was so convinced of the reality of the
dream, that I went and yelled and screamed at my mother for a good
half an hour at least.  How could she possibly do that to me?

But that's nothing compared to this.
