Back in Spring 2004 I hadn\\u2019t been sleeping well for months. Not to mention zero exercise, and heaps of junk food. Something had to give. Turns out my breakdown wouldn\'t happen in the waking world...

A few weeks after I adopted my cat, Quinn \\u2013 the little Maine Coon goddess who would watch me each night from the foot of the bed with something akin to \\u2018annoyed concern\\u2019 \\u2014 there was a fateful evening when I finally sank into slumber.

And I mean it like it sounds \\u2013 sank. Like a boat with a hole in it. Like movie quicksand. Like dinosaurs in tar. I sank until I found myself trapped in the dark. And I was scared. Because I knew all about lucid dreaming\\u2026

...but how could a nightmare could be this real???
