Two reoccurring dream themes of late are 1- people trying to kill me and 2- life-threatening natural disasters.  Some nights I dream that someone is trying to kill me DURING a life threatening natural disaster.  For example, there's an earth quake that's collapsing buildings.  I'm on the top floor of a skyscraper walking down flights of stairs to get to the bottom while a mentally challenged man chases me with a gun, firing shots.  The irony is I found this mentally challenged man at the beginning of the quake, sensed he needed my help, offered my assistance and then he turned on me.  Maybe he thought I was the one causing the quake?  Maybe he just freaked out and lost it?  I don't know, but I'm running down flight after flight of stairs as fast as I can.  And I'm pregnant.

That's the reason for the dark circles under my eyes (hopefully disguised by a good caking of Benefit's "Erase Paste").  Another factor there is the 1.5 lb human that lives inside me that's stealing my life force to create her own (crazy how that part is real even though it sounds like a nightmare).
