The Circus of Death is Upon You

[flameelf]

Man, I hate screwed-up dreams.

It was autumn; almost Halloween, and "we" were walking through a small town, watching the leaves blow and smelling ripe apples on the air. There was a little down festival going on in one place, and there was a decrepit old man walking around with a sign that said:

LEAVE ME ALONE

So, am I reading this right? I split before things got really freaky? Sounds very like me; I loathe circuses (it's a clown thing).

GAH! It was sort of funny at first, but, no, halfway through, that got creepy. I can't even BEGIN to offer an interpretation for that.

Yikes!

Oh, it was VERY creepy! And a big gory, although I didn't go into detail...but not all the performers "remained in one piece" so to speak.

I'm with you on the clowns. I find them a huge creepy iconic thing. And even just "circus performer", etc...freak shows...it's all shivery and twisted.

I maybe should have posted this in the dream LJ comm I belong to, but I was trying so hard to get most of it down before it faded away. I'm not really trying to interpret it--some of those in the dream aren't really friends of mine, like Shay, and I think the morphing/altering people is just a symptom of being ill and possibly running a fever.

Let's say I HOPE you left. You slid up into the heart of the house, so you were either far from danger or the first victim and we never knew it.

I hate nightmares.

Eeeeeeeeurgh.

*shiver*

That's just . . . ew. Ew, ew, ew!

I hope you feel much better soon. YACK. Nightmares are just horrid. Especially when your subconscious decides to get imaginative.

I think the fact that your nightmares are so completely random and bizarre makes them that much more terrifying, love.

Fever dreams are always the worst

What's odd is that I've only had a handful of dreams where I could actually recognise you as being YOU in my dreams. You've been in quite a few of them but either I couldn't quite focus on you or see that it was really you.

But the ones I COULD see you as who you are, your hair was like this bright red beacon. Like when photographers enhance one single colour to bring attention to it.

I'm reminded of "Schindler's List" and the little girl in the red overcoat.
