Last night, I had a dream that I killed someone.

None of the actual violent killing part was in the dream (I can’t watch violence, let alone create it in my imagination) but my sister -- played by Miss Ari -- just knew I’d done it and told me so. That kid we’d passed in the subway earlier? Yeah, she knew I’d killed him, but that was okay. She wouldn’t tell.

I proceeded to freak out. I raced along the boardwalk (we were no longer in the city) to find the body. I didn’t want to go to jail, so I had to get rid of it. Then my mind wondered if there really was a god and if I was gonna be in deep shit when I died for having killed someone – a CHILD no less. I had no memory of it, but I was certain it was true. I had murdered a child, hacked up his body and hidden him in a tool box.

I woke up in a cold sweat and decided not to read CNN at work anymore.

That is some dream! I only watch Larry King on CNN. Today they talked about near death experiences and seeing the light. It just makes me want to die just to experience the comfort they all describe. Jane Seymour was practically doing an infomercial on her experience.

Yeah avoid the news. It's all too depressing.

It really happened too but don't you worry NightmareSis... I'll keep your secret forever. And for the right price.

See what happens when you even think of blackmailing me? You subconcious puts a fast end to that! :)

Hmmm... that so made me think of Desperate Housewives too. Weird. You are better not watching it.

It's cool Fish, I took care of the body. The kid had it coming.

I really like the new bit you've added under your mission statement. Just thought I'd let you know that.

I have dreams all the time where I am running away from killing bad people. Running the whole night. I wake up tired. I much prefer the dreams where I get to kiss fit girls even if they (the dreams not the girls) are a bit strange,

The next time you want to dream-murder someone, can I suggest a victim? Yeah, it's been one of those days.
