And they might have froze before that noose got to them

[sovay]

All night I dreamed about dying. Every time—I was shot once, bleeding out; another time, I had some kind of wasting illness—I woke up instead of never opening my eyes again, but whenever I fell back into the dream, there was a different death to go through. Some of the circumstances, waterspouts, unmoored islands, shell-like crusts of uninhabited buildings in the middle of cities where I've lived, might have made intriguing story material if I hadn't been distracted by the endless iterations of mortality, none of them opera-clean. Today fails auspices.

I had a friend who dreamed endless, iterative murders by his friends and loved ones 6 nights out of 7 for years. I had dreams of being a ghost for a month after being killed in my dreams by my nemesis. It's good to know that what they say about dying in dreams is untrue. Unless of course, what they're saying is that it kind of sucks.

My co-workers and I have determined that this week can go to hell and burn.

Oh, what a trying night! You'll have to sleep today to recover. Any idea what triggered the dreams?

May tonight bring you as many dreams of rebirth ... wait, the first image that came to mind when I wrote that was some morphing into a sea creature, which could involve tearing and stretching and other unpleasantries ... but then, is the thought of sea creatures ever anything but bliss to you? Here's to dreams that will allow rejuvenating sleep.

It's rotten when that happens--true "dreamsickness". I had interlocking dreams as well, though all I can recall is that I think they involved A) Doctor Who and B) zombies. Folding back and forth through time, trying in vain to avert some sort of disaster, but it always kept happening, no matter what. Also: Mold.

Reminds me of a recurring torture nightmare I had growing up. The order and kind may have varied, but they always ended with Chinese water torture. And those drops were SO HUGE. Then I'd wake up.

Yipes! I'm sorry to hear it.

*looks around the room for pleasantly distracting objects* Um, would reading a draft of a Swinburne-inspired poem about Utena make you feel any better? (It's okay if the answer is no.)

I've dreamed repeatedly about being poisoned and gradually falling out of consciousness into death, and I've dreamed I was shot and bled to death, too. This nonsense about not dying in your dreams--I don't know where it comes from.

waterspouts, umoored islands, shell-like crusts of uninhabited buildings--yes, those are intriguing. And, you are not, in fact, dead, after all, so--story?

Wishing you blissful dreams--floating, flying, undersea libraries--for a year henceforth.

Much sympathy; I had nightmares last night too. It may be something to do with the weather as temperatures/pressures changing suddenly is one of the major causes of bad dreams.

call me if you want ~ I'm done with trig exam and have open time/chem lab which I can step out of to take a call

I had nightmares of rescuing my father from falling into a terraced waterfall which gliders kept delivering things over. It was beautiful but geez, last night does not seem to have been a good dream night for anybody.

Many sympathies. That must have sucked.

Seems like it was the night for it, from other comments. I had uneasy dreams too, though I think I never actually died. Just a lot of blood and something dire that I needed to know and didn't.

Was the weather changing everywhere?

Ouch! THat sounds vile. Had you been overdoing the Remembrance, do you think?

Goodness, that's awful. I'm very sorry to hear, and I hope you have much, much, much better dreams tonight.
