Does It Need to Be a Nightmare?

For this creative prompt from Real Toads, about turning a fearful nightmare into something funny or not threatening. Based on a true story.

---

I’d often have a stressful dream,
Of a tsunami coming,
I’d see it hit me, die,
And be brought back to life
Over and over again.

The cycle would cease when
I realized it was a dream:
So I would grow gills
In peace swimming in the new sea,
And breathing underwater easily.
