Morning on Journey: On driving in the rain and thinking about how some people have nightmares and others don't

You told me the reason you didn't continue with your fantasy of becoming an astronaut had everything to do with a recurring dream that you have and that you were told is a common one. You feel as if you are waking up in the morning when an elderly woman in the room is holding you down and you can't move. It is called night paralysis or something. Why this prevented you from being a space man is a mystery to me.
