Who needs enemies?

I awoke this morning feeling ill used and terribly sad.
When I reflected back on the night, I realized that every single dream I had had involved someone criticizing me, or making fun of me and generally questioning my right to be on the planet.
I was reduced to running to my room and sobbing wildly.
One of the dream people even made fun of me for not having any clothes from Costco. (!)

How bloody depressing.

I much prefer the dreams I have that see me eating people after wrecking unbelievable amounts of gory carnage in Safeway.

*sigh* Think I'll go out back and eat worms.

My guess is that it's the eating of thw worms that are causing those dreams.

Costco sells clothes???

Ouch.

I've suddenly flashed back to junior high school.

Oh no! I hate waking up feeling that way too. Hopefully you have a good day despite yucky dreams.

I much prefer dreams of cannibalism too. Unfortunately, my dreams this morning revolved around my bedroom filling with medical monitors as doctors surrounded me and waited for me to die.

Boooo to dreams like THAT!

The worms might taste better if you add them to cookies ala How To Eat Fried Worms...

I hope your day gets better:)

Well things can only look up from this. Crush that subconscious back in the box and put the lid on. Maybe even nail it shut.

I saw you over at Limpy's & your Woody Allen comment cracked me up - this post is even better. I'll have to read on. I thought I had nutty dreams sometimes.

No! Don't listen to the Costco fashionista! You're wonderful, you cannibalistic diva!

I have a recurring dream of being a kid, everyone's laughing while playing hide'n'seek... then it clouds over and the same damned evil dwarf starts to laugh and smash on the porch door trying to get in... scares the hell out of me everytime! I'd rather eat worms and stay the hell away from Costco!
No dwarves are harmed in my dreams.

Nights like that are truly awful. Wrap yourself in your best pirate attitude and go out and smite the world!

E. Rivera said...

Yowza! Well, I understand feeling the pain, but clearly the Costco comment is also a sign that possibly these criticisms that you give to yourself (isn't that what it's really about?) are ludicrous! Not that I wouldn't buy any clothes from there, but...uh, secretly.

Jo said...

Tai, no, no, no! No clothes from Costco. That will only give you more nightmares.

I hope you're feeling better today.

I just read your post on the homeless people in Vancouver. Omigosh, wonderful! How did anyone think releasing ill people from hospitals was actually helping them? Now there are no beds to get them back into the hospital where they can get proper care.

It's really shameful.

Jocelyn said...

I am often amazed at how much plays out in my dreams. I actually don't even want to analyze them--I just want to let them be. But the dream hangover can be so awful.

We all know you are terrif, even if your brain is playing around with you.

Spend a day bearing a weapon. Wear a sword, carry a knife, sling a rile ovr your shoulder. Don't go out of the house if it isn't legal but you'll be amazed at how much better you'll feel.

They say our dreams are our means of sorting out our angst and insecurities.
Regardless of your dreams, I love you anyway.

blackcrag said...

Tell me I wasn't part of that dream.

Given the dreams you've related now and before... What do you eat before going to bed?

geewits said...

With all the eating and grocery stores, I'm thinking you are having some sort of food guilt.

Leesa said...

I have had worm cake - and bad dreams afterwards. I blame the worms, though worms are normally sort of cute.

Jazz said...

I dreamed yesterday that every person I met told me I looked sooooooooooooooooooo old.

What a depresssing dream to have when you're waking up to Monday morning...

CrackerLilo said...

:-) My wife's gotten mad at me for things I only did in her dreams! Please don't do that to your friends!

Hageltoast said...

yuck. Some mornings we should be allowed to call in miserable and go back to bed.

Pol* said...

...chop off their heads, squeeze out the juice and throw their tails away! Nobody knows how I survive on worms 3 times a day.....
Now I'll have that song stuck in my head all day.

I hate ugh-dreams like that. I had a nasty sleep last night too thanks to my cruel sub-conscious. Must be the weather.

tsduff said...

I hate how bad dreams can color your entire day with the mood they cast. I hope you are dreaming better dreams now. I've had some disturbing dreams recently too - about my late husband - dreams like he came back alive and is causing conflict with my boyfriend and I. Sad, but worrisome. I loved him, but life moves on.

Spider Girl said...

I remember you telling me about the Terror and Mayhem at Safeway dream.

Er, I'm glad we work out all our tensions while asleep sometimes. :)
