You always struggled to sleep due to nightmares. The same ones every night.

Although you did get nice dreams from time to time, they were frequent and short lived. You knew that once you had a nice dream you wouldn’t get another one in a while.

Caitlyn, your girlfriend had suggested that you sleep in the same bed as someone to try and help you, to offer comfort. So you now live in her home, and sleep in the same bed as her to see if your nightmares had lessened.

They did, but not by a lot. But you told Caitlyn that her being with you had helped you massively… a small lie, right?

Tonight, you were both in bed asleep. Until you had woken up from another nightmare, one that you had dreamt before.
