those are its eyes.

{caution: this nightmare really sneaks up on you.}

Dream (nightmare): I am on the most beautiful beach I have ever seen. The water is sparkling, crystal blue, and the cliffs and sand are nearly white in color. The beach is crowded and foreign – Morocco, maybe. I am wading in the water when I see a woman running down the beach. She is shouting, "I need to get to the hospital. I need to get this baby to the hospital as soon as I can."

I look, and I see no baby. I begin to follow her asking, "What baby!?"

She runs up to a lifeguard and tells him she needs to go to a hospital. He looks at her and says, "Yes, you do," and climbs down from his towering chair, pointing her toward a hospital. I am still following her. Another woman approaches her and says, "I had one of those. Don't worry, it'll be OK," and shows the running woman her arms, which look normal.

I finally catch up to the woman and ask her what is wrong. She tells me, "I must have swallowed a centipede in the water. They take over your body from the inside, see?"

She lifts up her arms, and she has huge bulging growths on both of her forearms.

"Those are its eyes."
