Do old dreams count?
6-7 years back, I had a weird dream in which me and my family all ran a Zoo together. Of what I remember, the government was trying to shut us down because of them wishing to kill/get rid of the animals. So what does my family do? We decide to form our own animal rights group. I remember it starting out perfectly normal, but somewhere in the dream it eventually escalated to us stealing animals out of government facilities and setting up bombs on giant walls that kept the animals separate from everyone else.
After a while of that, the government gives up and we all go back to our Zoo-keeping Jobs. I was put on station at the Aquarium where we had a giant (and i mean Jaws sized) shark as our prized attraction. I don't remember the specifics of how it happened, but I know the tank began to break at one point, but the water refused to flow out. Kids were pulling at the glass, screaming that the shark couldn't breathe with all that water in it's lungs. Panicking, I reached in to try and grab some of the glass out as well.
The next part, I remember very clearly. The shark had been uninterested in what we had been doing the entire time. Until I stuck my hand in the water. The moment I did, I felt myself freeze and saw the shark whip around to face me. I could see the black pits of it's eyes. The jagged teeth. The uncaring hunger. Ever so slowly, it swam closer and closer, till all I could see was the shark. I felt a sharp pain in my arm, then in my leg, so on and so on. Over and over, as if I was being bitten by those terrible teeth. Then I woke up.
I was downstairs in our living room. I couldn't talk, I couldn't move. I felt my body get up and start walking. At this point, I guessed I was dreaming and tried to open my eyes, but I just couldn't seem to do it. I remember walking this long circuit in my house which took me through every room that was downstairs. I remember trying so hard to wake up, but being unable to. For hours.
Eventually did wake up, mind you. Found out later that morning that I had actually been sleepwalking that same circuit all night. When my parents had tried to wake me up, I had looked them straight in the eye and had just kept walking my circuit... I live on my own now and outgrew it awhile back... but that. THAT is why I hate fricken sharks. Thought you guys might enjoy this.
Edit: There was probably ore cool, fun spy/activist stuff that happened, but dang if I only remember the terrifying parts well. XD

Don't look at me. I'm just as confused by the bear as you people are...
