Goddamn Nightmares.

I hate nightmares.

The hell of it is that I can't explain what was so scary about it. It just was.

I was in a movie theater with my friends, going to see a movie adapted from a book that you, the_xtina, had written. I have no idea what it was supposed to be about, though oddly enough I know that it was a thick book. Anyway, not so bad

How can the light that burned so brightly suddenly burn so pale?

LOL

The line that creeps me out is "There's a fog along the horizon/A strange glow in the sky."

I don't know why, but it just flips me the fuck out.

Like flips you out because you're seeing the nuclear cloud and the radioactive dust ......or......?

I think it has to do with nightmares I used to have about the sky being all wrong, the sun rising in the wrong place, there being two of them, there being a sunrise with no sun, two moons, half the sky night, half day, bloody clouds, etc.

It's very evocative of nightmare images I used to have.

I'm sorry. That sounds like it was terrifying for you. Ugh.

I woke up last night from a dream that I was at a political rally mocking Hillary Clinton with my sister, when I discovered I was unexpectedly pregnant and that my sister disapproved of my abortion plans, and of Hillary's pantsuits. Luckily, I think this dream has three important meanings for me: One- I've been spending too much time online talking politics, Two- I appear not to be very ambivalent about the fact that kids look like they're not happening since I made the decision to abort totally dispassionately, and immediately, and was able to defend the choice to my sister without a second thought, and Three- that I forgot my birth control pill last night (hence the bolting upright half an hour before I was supposed to wake up). And no, my sister isn't a conservative in real life.

What's wrong with Hillary Clinton's pantsuits?

[pixxelpuss]

Absolutely NOTHING. I love the pantsuits.

[naamah_darling]

Wow, that's symbolic.

I never get dreams like that. I just get this weird shit, or the really weird dreams about inappropriate sex/vampires/people that don't exist.

I hate nightmares that you can't quite explain WHY they're scary. It's just the atmosphere, at least in my nightmares, that makes it creepy. Although if you manage to become lucid towards the end of the nightmare, I've found it pretty fucking awesome. Like the one where I was Batman, and was being stalked by Lemina (a video game character from a somewhat obscure game. And what's funny is that she's the ultimate "ditzy blonde" character). It was scary until I got more lucid, and decided, "I don't want to wake up scared. I'm going to ax her in the face."

[naamah_darling]

Hahahaha! Batman!

That's awesome.

I love lucid dreaming.

This will make you feel better.

I think.

[naamah_darling]

Oh my GOD, someone made that movie?! That's TERRIBLE!

*lmfao*

[baron_waste]

Well, see, it was the movie posters that clued me in.

Can I share my "Bright Eyes" anecdote? Maybe it will make you less creeped out? S.O. went to see Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit before I did; happily agreed to see it again with me--my first time, his second, so you see where we are. He knows what's coming; I don't. He knows Watership Down is one of my favorite films. Scene in W & G where Gromit, left in the car alone while he waits for the Were-Rabbit, turns on the radio to kill the scary silence. Radio starts playing "Bright Eyes." S.O. gets to witness me dying laughing. I mean, hilarious whooping "What the hell is with that crazy laughing woman in the fucking tenth row?" kind of dying laughing. He loved watching me laughing almost as much as I loved laughing over the obscure reference.

*roflmfao*

That is awesome.
