Nightmares

[jethrien]

I've been having vivid, violent nightmares for the past couple days. Three nights ago, I had my legs amputated at the thigh. Two nights ago, an acquaintance from high school tripped over a suitcase and broke her back, and I couldn't calm her down and the ambulance wouldn't come. Last night, I was playing laser tag, and oblvndrgn was accidentally given a real gun and shot me several times in the stomach.

I don't think I'm upset. I can't think of anything that is seriously disturbing me in the daytime. But something has my subconcious really, really freaked out.

The end of the world, possibly?

Or possibly a baconover?

Are you dizzy, esp. when moving from a prone position to standing up?

Have you recently (within the last month or so) had a bout of severe head congestion?

Vivid, violent nightmares more than one night in a row w/o an emotional tie from the day's events, for me, tend to happen when I have an inner ear infection.

Nope. I've had ear-infection induced vertigo before (years ago), so I know what it feels like. I'm perfectly healthy - balance is fine, not even sniffles. I'm tired, but I suspect that has more to do with the fact that I've gotten really crappy sleep because my brain keeps inventing new horrors, rather than illness.

I'm beginning to regret teaching you that word.

What can it mean? Is it like a do-over, with bacon?

Bad dream! Wake up, eat bacon, do over.
Failed a test? Take it again, while eating bacon.

You know, I'm so pleased by this definition that I'll forget I asked you yours and accept this as the standard. I just hope the original wasn't like a comb-over with bacon...

I want bacon.

Actually, it refers to a hangover, but with bacon. As in, the time we ate candied bacon and severely regretted it the next morning.

I'm.. sorry?

It's ok. You thought it was a laser tag gun.
