@Mr_NutterButter i can't really explain it. my nightmares are very rarely ACTUALLY scary, there is just a mood to them that causes my brain to wake up and when i do, my heart's racing and i get really freaked out.

last night in my dream, i was reading off a poem i had written and it started with mundane stuff everybody has to do in life, then kind of progressively got more dark/sad, like a family member dying, losing a friend, etc. then the poem ended with me just saying "the real rock glitch" over and over until i woke up.

i just felt like something was watching me. i turned on my lights for the rest of the night which is not something i've done probably ever.

i might just play some AVGN tonight or something to occupy the silence if i wake up.
