Sweating bullets

It's the full moon thing, I SWEAR.

Or maybe it's becoming a little bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy at this point, but regardless, it's happened again. NIGHTMARE!

In this latest episode, I'm at some sort of small banquet with a group of friends, and all of a sudden, an older gentleman we all know (no one I know in real life, but who we all know in the dream) decides to pull out a semi-automatic weapon and hold us all hostage.

He's rather calm throughout the whole thing, and seems to have this one rather odd request: He wants each of us to come up with a dinner plan for him. As in, "If you want to remain alive, please plan me a five-course dinner." (Random, I know.)

For whatever reason, in the nightmare he singles me out, and I spend the rest of the dream with a gun about two feet away pointed straight at my chest.

Even weirder....I'm eerily calm the entire time I'm trying to plan out this dinner on a big sheet of paper. Recipes and all. I can't for the life of me remember what I ended up planning, but I'm sure it was masterful.

In the end, I take a big sigh, seemingly resolved to whatever my fate might be at the point, and say, "Hope you're hungry." (Probably not the smartest remark to throw at someone pointing a gun at your chest, but I'm a smartass in real life, so I guess it makes sense in that respect.)

The gentleman looks down at the paper, looks up at me, and smirks.

I wake up.

Funky shit, I tell you. But it's a twist for me this time around...usually I end up ACTUALLY getting stabbed or shot in the dream. This time, who knows?

Song of the day: "This God Damn House" The Low Anthem (clarinet gives me goosebumps...a cool song about how it feels to have be living in "too close quarters" with someone)

It's the vegetarian diet. It's giving you nightmares.
