Bad Day on the Horizon?

I had a bad night. I think I was having panic attacks in my sleep. I had to have been. Waking up with muscles tight, body shuddering, and wet eyes... I don't feel like I slept, but I know I did. The dreams won't let me forget.

I don't feel like talking about two of them here, but I'll bring up the third one. Ironically, it scared me the most. I suffer episodes of repeating dreams. Not so much as the dream repeats as if watching a tape over and over... but the same scene/setting shows up all the time. And I've had several of these in the past, and most of them go away and I never deal with them again.

One of them I used to have involved a house with hidden upper floors that only I seemed to know about. But those upper floors were supposed to be haunted, and nobody ever made it to the top of the seven floors. In these dreams, I'd always get up to the fourth floor when a bloody, grey-skinned demon launched out of the darkness at me, screeching in a high pitch shrill that chilled to the bone... that cold feeling would slice through me even when I woke up from it. It always startled me awake.

Well... the house with the haunted upper floors has come back to... well... haunt me. It all came back so vividly, and just the way I remember it when I had the dream months and months ago. I didn't go up past the first of these floors, as my dream character seemed to remember the legend of the haunted house.

I'm a bit scared. Am I doomed to deal with that fourth-floor demon again? It scared me so badly when I had to deal with it the first time... I don't want to do it again!

So after waking up and trying to shake off the nightmares of the previous efforts at sleep, I get my shower and come downstairs to do my registration for next term at school. Or, I was supposed to do that this morning. I managed to log onto the school website and check my email, but when I went to the registration part of the site, it was down. So I refreshed. And again. And again. And finally the whole school site crashed. Again. So I have to go to school at about 10:15 instead of 10:45 (Yeah, I know, a whole 30 minutes. I'm whining. Who cares?) to go kindly inform them that they have crappy technology, and that I demand to be registered.

I'm having one of those days, I guess...

I'm gonna go dry my hair and then sit around for a little while before I start packing up for my "big" road trip today. They moved my appointment from 2:30 this afternoon to 5:30 this evening, which gives me a few more hours to stall/panic/play denial. And stuff.

I hope my anxieties stop flaring. That'd be nice.
