Writer's Block: Dream On
May. 13th, 2009 10:31 am[Error: unknown template qotd]
I have recurring nightmares about zombies. The dream itself is never the same, but the subject matter is. It's not that I fear zombies, and in fact I've been known to love a good zombie movie, but these days I can't watch them anymore lest they trigger a zombie nightmare. I think I have them at times when I feel helpless and my anxiety is really high. It never matters how fast you run and how slow the zombies are, they all eventually overwhelm you with sheer numbers, and there is nothing you can do about it. (Romero's flicks always end on a depressing note and no one ever wins.)
As far good recurring dreams, I don't have those. I wish I did, I really do, but seems that's not for me. Most of my dreams are often boring or just like a really, really strange acid trip. On occasion I'll have a dream I consider really nice or good, but for the most part I wake up going, "Man, what did I eat before bed to make me dream that?"
