Had three dreams last night, a good one, a nightmare, then a bleh one. But the nightmare really hit me hard... I had to lay there and stare at the ceiling for the next half hour... so it goes: I was with an old man, maybe his apprentice... we walked up to a man on his soapbox, talking about something... it didn't matter... the old man turns to me and says "what is this life for humans and their mortality?" ... then, I walk up to the speaker on the box and twists his neck... my point of view shifts and I see myelf, but without control over myself... I whisper to a lady transfixed at the dead speaker... "you're next"... a sudden calm came over her, and she stares at me, the observer... Her eyes wide open ... this is the frightening part, they turn large yellow and hollow, pupils dialated, as if a bright light was shining from behind me... almost as if she was trying to convey her sense of desparation and fear through her eyes... My detached body thunders something to the crowd and then continues to break her neck... that was when i woke up... the room seemed darker than usual... it was about 5 in the morning, and a faint blue was bleeding through the blinds... and I just laid there for the next half hour...
