bed or torture device?

For the past few nights, maybe about a week's worth, I've been having lucid nightmares.  Things involving falling, being crushed, paralyzed with fear, waking up and seeing things moving in my room.  I've even tried calling out my roommate's name again in warning, but only emitting a gurgling moan.  Eventually I would ease into consciousness.  As strange as it may sound, I think it's the extra mattress on my bed.  Perhaps I'm lacking the support I need from just one mattress.  I'll let you know how it goes after tonight, when I remove the extra mattress.

It could be all the work stress too.

No Internet access for a week or so at home.  This is probably a blessing in disguise.
