TITLE: Reddit: Can you interpret my weird childhood dream?
POST: I just posted this in "what was the most ridiculous fear you had as a child?" and realized I'd love to get some Reddit input on it (good input, bad input, and ugly input... sure, why not?).

I used to have a re-occuring nightmare, starting when I was fairly young (maybe 5 or 6?) and tapering off as I got older. I feel absolutely ridiculous explaining it, but it scared the shit out of me every time I dreamt it:

Picture a plain, bright white rectangular room. No doors, no windows. There is a small bright red bouncy ball in the room. It starts bouncing wall to wall slowly. Then it starts picking up speed. The faster and more erratic it bounced, the more frightened I got. I would wake up in serious fear and I couldn't explain why.

I'd love to know if anyone could interpret WTF that dream meant. It still gives me the chills to think about it now. And I am pretty damn desensitized to everything else.

Do your worst, fellow Redditors.

Or your best.  Whatever.
TL;DR: 
Had a crazy red-bouncy-ball-in-a-white-room dream that scared the crap out of me as a kid and I still have no idea why.
