"Keep the dream but never scream."

There has been a recurring theme in my dreams for the past ten years. It seems i am always trying to get away from something terrifying, but once i try to run it's as if my legs each way 200 lbs. and i can hardly push myself forward. Last night i was running from 2 ft. tall tarantulas with copper-colored legs and snowy white faces.
This morning i finally realized what i need to do:
stop trying to run, turn around, and face my opponent.
I need to battle my fears hand-to-hand.
