Dream hangover

Not a good morning.

Do you ever wake up in a fucking lousy mood, feeling groggy and disoriented, but you're not sure why? I know I was having nightmares- certain images refuse to fade- but I can't remember exactly what they were about. I recognized people, but could see their faces. I know they were talking to me but I couldn't hear the words. And I know that bad things happened and maybe I'm afraid to recall the details.

So I'm left with unresolved and seemingly groundless anger and fear, knowing that my subconscious was trying to tell me something but not remembering enough of the message to interpret it. It's like being hungover when you didn't have anything to drink.

I hate it when this happens.
