Something "happier"

So, I need more sleep. This much is clear.

Saturday night I had a dream that I got rabies from some squirrels. I went through all of the symptoms in about ten minutes (dream time). I was twitchy, got combative and then experienced hydrophobia and muscle stiffness. The stiffness turned out to be real, as I woke up with an achy neck.

Sunday night I had a dream about the end of the world. Apparently, the inner core of the earth was bubbling to the surface. This manifested itself as random rolling mountain ranges that would pop up out of nowhere and crush anyone in the way. I was saved several times by my mother, who from judging the way I spoke to her the night before during my rabies-rage would have not been wrong in letting me be battered by the rocks.

I can't remember what the dream was on Monday, I know it was weird, but it's gone now. Tuesday I didn't sleep at all...

Last night....I guess my brain was sick of the mundane, so I was treated to a good old fashioned zombie movie. So, there was this poisoned wind that made you nuts. You would start leaking pus and then go and kill the nearest non-crazy people. In my dream I was following two groups of people. One was this obnoxiously attractive couple, and the guy's nerdy brother. Pretty boy starts to act sick, and the girlfriend and nerd boy have to decide if they should kill him. Before they get the chance, however, he falls on some rocks (zombie killed by random avalanche). GF: "I've always loved you...never forget that" PB: "It doesn't hurt....much." NB: "I'll take care of her." PB: (cough, die).

Next group was a father and young daughter. (The kid kept turning into a former student of mine, it was really disturbing). The father goes out of the crappy apt that they have taken refuge in, and tells the kid, "I will ask you twice to let me in. If I don't ask twice, don't open the door." There are some tears, and he leaves. Somehow, Nerd boy and Girlfriend end up there too. A bit later there is a knock on the door. "Honey, let me in...sweetie, it's daddy open up. Honey, are you there?" Well, the kid turns to the two grownups, and says, "That's three, that's NOT MY DADDY." Just to be sure NB opens the door, Daddy rushes in, and goes to attack NB and GF. NB stabs Daddy in the head with a cue (I know, I know). Here's the kicker, he doesn't bleed pus, it's red blood. He's not sick after all. AS he lays dying, he tells his daughter, "Well, I think I was going anyway...I felt 'weird'." She asks him why he didn't keep his promise about the "two times." He answers that he didn't think she heard him the first time. I can tell this was supposed to be a really heartbreaking moment, but at that point I couldn't take anymore, and rolled over on my arm to wake myself up.

Oy.
