on dreams
Lately I've been having really vivid dreams. And not the good kind. The other day I killed someone in my dream. Don't worry, he wasn't someone I know in real life, and he was the mass murderer/rapist in the story so I guess in my dream I was doing something good. But still. I dreamt that I killed someone. With my bare hands. It was pretty creepy, gross, and disturbing.
Usually my dreams aren't about people I know in real life, but sometimes they are. I feel like they come in waves and are usually not good- I've had pretty realistic ones like 4 days in a row. And my surroundings are usually one of the biggest components. My brain creates these crazy spaces that I've never been in before, and are usually a little Escher-like.
Do you remember your dreams? What's the weirdest one you've ever had? Once I had a dream that my mom was going to die, which was disturbing in and of itself. The reason? She was pig for Halloween when she was young. It was like a terminal illness, like if she had grown up in a nuclear wasteland or something, but caused by a Halloween costume. Yeah, I don't get it either. But it's always stuck with me.
