I notice I have the most horrible problem with my dreams - and I'm not sure if it makes them psychologically awful on a level comparable to "I dreamed that everyone I ever loved was dead", or if it makes me just a wuss. You be the judge, dear world!
Basically, I dream of everyday situations. Situations so innocuous or boring that no one would think anything of them - but in my dreams, there's always one thing out of place, and I can't help but fixate on that one thing. I had a dream last night of the silliest thing - sitting at my drum kit. While I was sitting at my drum kit in this dream, I kept seeing my snare drum out of place - it was too close to my throne, and completely off balance in proportion to the layout of the rest of the kit - it would fall over every couple of seconds I was playing, and it was driving me mad. I couldn't fixate on anything except for that one problem, how something so simple was wrong. Dreams like this can involve something simple out of place, or they can be just everyday activities that feel 'wrong'. I had a recurring dream some years ago that I was playing a video game - and the same seconds of that game would loop over and over in my mind. I couldn't escape them no matter how hard I tried. I think at the time I was in a lot of pain while sleeping too, so it made the whole thing one of the worst experiences I've had regarding dreams. I'm sure everyone's had their share of nightmares... I haven't, really. I just dream about ten-second video game blurbs.
So, yeah, I'm going in the other direction with my original theory on how bad these dreams are. Still, I thought it might be something interesting enough to be worth sharing.
I've started reading a webcomic called "Something Positive". It's pretty good, I will have to say - the art is actually very bad, in my opinion, but the subject matter, writing, and opinions therein I find amazing. I'm almost through the archive. Yay me?
Cheers, everyone.
