Monsters Under the Bed
February 25th, 2009 by John Wolfe
After discussing my first encounter with a professional haunted house, I happened to remember a related experience from childhood. Very much like watching the haunted house commercials on television and feeling the urge to attend, I used to beg to hear stories, watch movies and read books about anything scary. I would eat it all up with a spoon during the daylight, assuring everyone I could handle it, but by bedtime, I was singing a different tune. I remember many sleepless nights of keeping everything tucked tightly beneath the covers, head included.
When I could fall asleep, I used to have recurring nightmares about some beastly creature with bear trap-like teeth chewing off my limbs, so the precautions were obviously warranted. 
To this day, that same snarling creature occasionally makes an appearance, but now he only attacks while I’m having dream conversations with my shrink. I have no idea why I dream about visiting a psychiatrist.
