Oh yeah.

I remember why, all those years ago, that I stopped watching scary movies and reading scary books.

I am a very, very suggestible dreamer. Last night, as yet another side effect of using the CPAP machine, I had a serious nightmare. First one in probably 40 years. It included some monsters that came up in conversation yesterday, a plot line that came right from The Sixth Sense which I discussed yesterday, and a object with supernatural and daemonic powers which came from a pdi short story I read last week or so.

I woke up in a cold sweat.

I remember,, as a teen, trying to a create a climate of positive dreams by concentrating on good stuff when I went to bed. I also remember being so afraid of nightmares that I would have nightmares about nightmares.

And remember, I love you.

I had a dream I was at a church breakfast this morning. It was something for Easter. At one point, I was getting an fried egg off a tray with several perfected shaped eggs, and the preacher made some comment about the inside of the runny egg being a symbol for Christs blood. Someone else joked that a person at their table wasn't partaking cause he only ate the whites. Then Scix and you started a loud conversation about how if the Christians were serious, they'd just kill a new person every year and then get to have real blood. Very weird. And just being at church is a nightmare these days. :-)

I actually messed up my sleep patterns when I was a kid because I was so afraid of nightmares. I trained myself to stay awake for as long as I could at night, on the vaguely logical reasoning that if I didn't sleep so long, I wouldn't have time to have bad dreams. It took me years to shake that behavior pattern, even after I stopped wanting it.

Here, have a tame nightmare to guard you from the wild ones.

Oh hey! Didn't know you had a livejournal. You may or may not remember me, but you were at the first RHPS I've viewed here on the West Coast. My friends (janesusername mainly) went, and I was a Virgin so they made me play the stupid twizzler game. Small blonde girl? Yeah anyway, I just wanted to say hello. :) Happy almost-Thursday.
