Dream Sequence

I've always had various dreams as a child ranging from an apocalyptic future to vampires drinking strawberry lemonade.  There have been drawings made and stories written from some of my dreams, and inspiration of what not to eat, watch, or read before going to bed. I was around the age of 12 when I was finally able to control my dreams, realize when that shark infested pool was dangerous or knowing that the dark woods were where the bad wolves were.  There was a lot of blood and pain in my dreams including waking up sore or bruised, making me learn to control said bad dreams.  And thus, here is a dream that I would have when I was younger.

I would be traveling with my family over the narrows (a section of a road back home that was on the side of a cliff with rock to one side and drop off cliff leading to the river 350 ft below) and all of a sudden the road would give way and we'd miss the bridge that in reality wasn't there.  The car plummeting to the waters below the whole time my family not taking it as a bad thing, but me on the other hand...I was screaming.  Then the car would disappear and I was in the water, alone, trying to make my way to the surface.  I could feel that my family was safe, on the shore somewhere, but I was still struggling.  Feeling that I was getting close to the surface, I could hear voices of NO! and STOP!  Upon reaching air I saw whey they were screaming...a motor boat was racing towards me.  I would duck under the water again, dodging the churning motor.  Again and again I would try to reach the surface, only to have the boat racing towards me.  So....I tried to race for it.  I would angle towards the shore, and swim.  swim swim swim but to no avail I could never make it before the motor clipped me.  All I felt was pain and blood swirling around me as I didn't feel my arm anymore.  I sank to the bottom of the river, then woke up.  My arm that got chopped off was numb, and I was soaked in tears and sweat. 

Morbid, yes, I know, but all it could have been was simply my arm fell asleep and it was a  hot summers day.  Shrug.
