Waking Nightmare!He awoke, stretched and scratched the top of his head with his right hand. It hurt, must have a pimple there or something. Only a few seconds later his forehead tingled, and he brushed at it with his left hand.It came away smothered in blood.What the hell! Got to get a towel or handkerchief or something.

Could such a situation ari...
