Thanks to some fabulous insomnia that I’ve been having lately, I’ve found my self entirely exhausted for the last week and a half. After work yesterday I got a bunch of stuff done then decided to vegitate on the couch for a while. I guess I dozed off, which was both a blessing and a nuissance.
I had this crazy dream that I moved to a new city where I knew absolutely no one. I think I was starting some sort of program at a school. I arrived, moved into my on-campus studio apartment and ventured outside. Much to my surprise, there were penguins on campus. Yes, penguins. Of course I was stoked. So the next day I think I was wandering around campus looking for class or something, and again I saw all kinds of penguins and their little babies. I guess I got excited and started chasing them. Well this turned out to be a bad idea, as they got pissed and ganged up on me. All of a sudden I was surrounded by penguins, big and small, and was getting pecked and bitten. I ran and finally made it safely to my apartment, where I found some middle-aged man, who was perhaps a professor or something. He saw how panicked I was and told me I needed to go to the hospital.
Being new to town, I had no idea where a hospital was located, so I started wandering aimlessly. Fortunately I was not attacked again. Eventually I found an ER and the nurses inside looked at me like I was crazy, but signed me in nonetheless. Eventually a doctor came to see me and told me to go home. Then another doctor came in for a second opinion. The second doctor was the hot Aussie doc from House. I was STOKED to say the least. That is until he told me I was dying from the bites on my ankles and neck. He put some Bactine on it to try and make me better and I swear to God I could feel the pain from the sting as though it was actually happening to me. I then woke up SCREAMING.
So now the question becomes which is worse: not sleeping, or sleeping and then waking up screaming from nightmares? I honestly don’t know!
