*patpat* In my dreams last night, I got to hang out in the nude (and share chaste nude hugs) with Sandrine Renard, Lily Kwan and other Naked News anchors. Even the bit where I was lip-synching to Garbage's "Tell Me Where It Hurts" from my clock radio (roughly a half-hour before it went off in the waking world) and my face in the bathroom mirror was an unconvincing drag impersonation of Shirley Manson sounds less horripilating than your dream. (I expressed a desire to be a hermaphrodite, possibly a symcause* of my fanboy interest in Soft on Demand'sFutanariVillage.)

Gladly. In general, I don't have as much lucidity as you and stormcaller3801 below, but on at least one occasion, I managed to force myself awake in the face of being trapped in the back of a stretching car* with a Guug**. If I can get away from one of those things, I can wake up to escape the Daemon Sultan's corpse in the reflected sky.
* I was driving, then I was in the back seat with the Guug, then the car's roof disappeared and there was another row of seats between me and the front.
** Actually spelled with only one U, but it's pronounced as a long U. They look like babies with a fangy extra mouth in the forehead.
Holy hell! When I have bad dreams, they don't actually sound scary when waking. But this... I'm not really sure if I would want to encourage a horror story out of that.
(Interesting, the dreams that upset me the most usually aren't the horror dreams, which end up more weird than scary, but dreams where I'm arguing with people I know. They make me wake up already stressed and angry.)
Well, should it become a recurring thing, feel free to send these things my way. I seem to have lucked out in that nightmares don't really work on me. I just end up getting annoyed with the dream as a whole, treating it more like I'm genre-savvy and aware of the fourth wall in a horror flick. So I'll end up sitting in the dream shouting things like, "OH COME ON! Who the hell put a tar pit in the middle of a swamp?! YOU SUCK!"
I don't get to do much, but then I guess nightmares count as horror so there's not much to exploit. I just end up going through them being annoyed at all this crap they're throwing at me. Nothing ever happens to me, but that may be because I don't play along.
