Nightmare

"Nightmare is the term currently used to refer to a dream which causes a strong unpleasant emotional response from the sleeper, typically fear or horror, or the sensations of pain, falling, drowning or death. Such dreams can be related to physical causes such as a high fever, or psychological ones such as psychological trauma or stress in the sleeper's life, or can have no apparent cause. If a person has experienced a psychologicaly traumatic situation in life, for example, a person who may have been captured and tortured the experience may come back to haunt them in their nightmares. Sleepers may waken in a state of distress and be unable to get back to sleep for some time. Occasional nightmares are commonplace, but recurrent nightmares can interfere with sleep and may cause people to seek medical help. " ~ (* Wikipedia)

In others words, Nightmare is the circumstance that every one want to wake up from. Yet to each of us there is nightmare in our life.

I am a student, sort-of... A part-time student. And every student knows, they have a nightmare that creeps them, chill to their spine. Exams are what we, students hate. But exams are not our nightmare. Our nightmare is the fleshly nature behind exams. "NO MOOD TO STUDY!"

Oooo.... The thought of it brings chills down my spine.... How many students suffered through the transition of "No Mood To Study" (NMTS)? Exams in 2 days time, "bam" Hit but NMTS... A classic killer... Its worse than PMS that guys suffer every month... It's hell break loose on earth...

Your emotions within you churn... The dilemma between knowing what you should do and the actual doing them confuses you... Brings the blues in you... The emotional turmoil inside fighting the flesh... Not that any of us are stupid... Not that any of us can't do it... But rather... Your body starts to go on strike... "I don't want to go through this anymore!", he says. Yet your brain being the center of command says the opposite... You can't fight it anymore... You felt that you are losing.... You felt that you are giving in...

All the moral teachings you learn from your religion, all the prayers you could offer... All the cries you can give to God... Suddenly seems so futile....

You feel like a kid-o, you feel helpless... You feel like you have no control of your situation... Even thou you know that is not true... You felt that blues...

It is like a nightmare that you can't wake up from... You struggle and you struggled some more.... There is nothing you can do... You felt defeated.... You call upon the Name that is above all names.... You call for help... Nothing happen....

That, my friend, is NMTS, "No Mood To Study"...

If the above is in anyway resemblance of someone you know... Know that it is not fictional.... It is the same temptation that crawls up our doorstep.... You are not alone... Remember:

"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." ~ 1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV)

Bite you lips... Hold on tight... Keep walking... Open that book of yours... Keep reading... Telling yourself "I CAN BECAUSE OF YOU!"

Remember, Nightmares are meant to be waken from...
