Something is wrong in my head
My insomnia has been getting progressively worse over the last few weeks, so I've been making sure to take my Ambien in what is proving to be a futile attempt at a good night's sleep. One of the purely disconcerting effects of Ambien is what I would term "interesting" dreams.
Last night's adventure into dreamland was, by far, the weirdest I have yet encountered. It's not often that you wake up in the morning, look around and say "wait... what?" (well... it shouldn't be often, anyway).
I don't even remember the exact timeline of the dream - I'm not sure that things really happened in a chronological order, so I'll just list the salient points.
- I had a new car, which was the bright yellow convertible roadster, that I didn't know how to use, but was obsessed with washing it.
- John was there.
- I was at my Dad's house.
- One of my ex-girlfriends and I had gotten back together, or something like that. I don't know... she was there and we were being mildy affectionate. For the sake of completeness, we'll call her Betty.
- Betty had an evil twin. And I mean that. There was another girl there, with which I was also being affectionate (and no, that's not a euphemism) who was literally the evil and twisted, Lewis-Carrollesque inverse of Betty (though, equally attractive...). Her name was something hideous and hair-raising like Darkness Raven-Hateblood. They were fighting.
- Something about dogs running around. Or perhaps it was some kind of creature with fur and fangs. That's kinda hazy.
- An adult friend of mine stopped by we decided to go out and do something. She chose to drive, and rammed her car into a snowbank. There wasn't snow anywhere else, just that huge and massive pile that she embedded her car in.
- We were constantly trying to keep people from entering the house via the skylights.
- John fell down some stairs.
- Those dog-like things came back again. They mean. We no likey.
- I fought someone, and got hit in the head a lot.
- The sky started bleeding.
There really is something wrong with me.
