Did you ever wake up startled by a very vivid dream? It has happened to me on many occasions and sometimes I can’t get over it for a few days.
I remember one time when I woke up in the middle of the night terrified that my house was on fire.
It was so real while I was sleeping that I woke up sweating and almost hyperventilating. As my head cleared I got up to check the entire house. My bedroom is downstairs and all seemed somewhat normal but as I went up to the second story to check things out, I noticed that the temperature was rising as I ascended the stairs. I was really worried that maybe my dreams was more than that but then I realized that the HVAC system was working overtime. I have several zones in my house and the upstairs one seemed to have a definite problem. My home wasn’t on fire as in my dream, but, It was 82 degrees upstairs. I tried turning the thermostat down but that didn’t seem to help. I then shut the zone off completely. I opened a couple of windows to try and cool off the rooms. After that, I planned on calling my HVAC dealer first thing in the morning. I went back to bed and tried to sleep but I was so worried that something was seriously wrong, I only tossed and turned. What if the problem was so bad that it actually did set my house on fire?. I knew that I would be relieved once my HVAC dealer checked it out thoroughly. I only hope it is an easy fix.
