New Story - Living the Nightmare

I have started a new story. Well I say new, I started the project a few months ago, yet I abandoned it whilst I was getting ready for University.
It's called 'Living the Nightmare'. I won't reveal the plot to the story, but i'm trying out new paths and ideas.
I have written out the preface to the story, and this I would be willing to share.
Please tell me your thoughts..

"Do you ever look at the world and just think it’s looking crazy? Just step back from pavement and think, ‘WHOA, anything could happen today!’ Actually anything could happen to me, to my neighbour or my brother! Do you ever think like that? As if you’re in a dream that you can’t and won’t ever get out of? Do you have dreams that feel so real, that scare you to death? But then find yourself awake in your bed, screaming, sweat all over your face. Your Panting, feeling out of breath? Like you’ve never breathed the air before? As if all the darkness swarms you, you finally feel alive and awake more than ever. Heart pumping. Your scared. But it was just a dream, right? So it’ll be ok. Surely? What if it wasn’t a dream, but an actual reality? Ok, you’re thinking I’m crazy. But I’m going to prove to you that I’m not. I’m sane. Just like you. Like everyone else I know and am around. I’m not mad."
