So that fantastic, all-expenses-paid weekend getaway you had planned--you cancelled that, right? You're ready for this? BECAUSE I AM READY FOR THIS. MY BODY IS READY FOR THIS. In anticipation of S9, let's pour some chum in the waters. Bring on the Dean!pain (and comfort!). >:D

The second time it happens, they're home. Dean is snug in his memory foam bed with Sam sleeping peacefully across the hall, and absolutely nothing is currently rearing up on their radar to eat them other than, you know, all the usual things that lurk around the edges, waiting to eat them.

It sounds like someone shooting.

In his head.

Dean jerks awake, same as last time, his hand grabbing for the nearest weapon before he can register that, oh yeah, this has happened before. He knows what this is. He relaxes his grip on the gun on his bed side table, eases himself back down onto the pillow and tries to will his heart to stop pounding so he can go back to sleep.

That's what this is, after all. It's just his stupid, fucked up head telling him he's not sleeping enough. The only thing to do about it is just to, as SLJ and that children's book so helpfully put it, go the fuck to sleep.

DEAN.

He shoots up again, hand slamming back down on the grip of his pistol. That wasn't any fucking "sleep start". That wasn't a random

That was fantastic, with just the right amount of creepy and funny! I TOO have weird NBD sleep issues, like dream/hallucinations of people entering my house when I'm half awake, or waking up kind of and not being able to move. The brain, it is a weirdo.

Sleep paralysis! I have only experienced this once, myself, but it was creeeeeeeeeeepy. I don't envy sleep paralysis sufferers.

Brains, indeed. Wtf.
