So that job I applied for...

My interview for it was today.

It went fine, I tend to interview fairly well, so I'm not terribly worried that I fucked that up (too badly). I should know about the position by next Wednesday. Trying not to get my hopes up too much because there were several other applicants but at least I know I was considered enough to be granted an interview.

eurgh i hate the waiting game.

guys i just wanted to let you know that i'm eating fries and a milkshake at 3am and I"m not even drunk/high.

I've been having extremely realistic nightmares for over a week now.

It's an on and off thing. Some weeks I have horrible nightmares, the next week it'll be blissful dreams, the next week... nothing at all.

I do sometimes use a sleep aid (or just chug nyquil) or do yoga/relaxation exercises before bed. Other times I don't really mind the dreams because I can snap out of it pretty quick and use whatever happened in my dreamspace as a "story" base. I think it helps that I'm a writer and I revolve around stories and ways to tell stories. I can view those things as a launchpad for a story.

That's the thing, I don't really find any major connections to things that I've seen/watched/done recently that connect with my dreams. Actually most of my dreams, nightmares, particularly, revolve around bad things happening to my loved ones/family members. So if anything they're just a product of my own stress and fears. But most of my dreams have absolutely no connection to anything I've ever done or seen. Most are very cinematic/realistic and could probably be a basis for a novel or screenplay.

I've done the journal idea. I have a huge account of dreams and nightmares I've had over the past six years. And I've also thought of drawing maps and blueprints of my "dream world" because I'm pretty convinced that absolutely everything that happens in my dreams is connected.

My parents would probably suggest exorcism.

Yesterday morning I literally woke myself up by screaming.

This morning I woke up and immediately felt immense relief that what I'd just witnessed wasn't "real."

Last weekend my boyfriend kept shaking me awake at night because I kept whimpering/crying in my sleep.

Halp.

Last night my dream was from the point of view of a young boy growing up (ages 8-14, I'd say). He had extreme violent and sociopathic tendencies, and I watched as he slowly learned how to do horrible things and frame someone else for them. They started small, like tipping a vase off a shelf and blaming it on the cat, stealing belongings and pinning the blame on his brother after planting the items, and finally up to multiple homicides.

The most vivid part of the dream was the killings. I dreamt that a young girl (maybe 8 or 9 years old) and her mother were visiting the boy's family. The girl had developed a crush on the boy, and instead of being either annoyed or flattered, the boy's thought process was "oh good, I can exploit this." It led to him planning the mother's murder, and framing the girl. He then murdered the girl, after consoling her immediately after her mother's death, and then made the girl's death look self-inflicted.

The rest of the dream followed the boy and his relationship with various family members. The parents grew nervous around him, and the boy's younger and older brothers were afraid of him, and the older brother kept looking for ways to prove the boy wasn't his biological brother, but some kind of demon or shadow child, like in Irish mythology where the Fae can replace an infant with a trickster child.

Overall kind of disturbing, but so cinematic/complex that I felt I needed to remember it and write it down.

TL;DR- dreams are fucked up, yo.

Yeah but in my head space he is really long winded and stopping him in certain ways is super cute to me.

....

I actually imagined this

I sometimes really love my mind

@Azarthes

Damn it I should have planned out ways to interrupt his longwindedness. It is kind of cute, tho.

Beware if you ever go on a walk with him, he randomly attracts vicious dogs that have a penchant for almost getting run down by busses.
