I had the balls-out craziest dream I've ever had last night.
You know how you sometimes hear about those dreams where you think you wake up, but then you see the axe-murderer from your dream again and you get stabbed and then you wake up again? And again? And again?
I had one of those. Hell, I could still be asleep, I guess, if not for the fact that everything's so clear and the cycle was started by a loss of clarity.
See, in this dream, for some reason, I was up on the roof of a house with a sketchbook. The roof was made of corrugated metal. Then, suddenly, it all felt like it stopped being a dream. Shapes changed, weird things happened, and suddenly I could see a cityscape on the horizon, I could feel the wind on my face, and everything felt real. It felt there. I stopped and thought to myself, "Maybe this is what Metrophor's dreams are like all the time? Hey, I just remembered BGSF! In a dream!"
Of course, a few seconds later everything had to go to hell. Suddenly, everything became fuzzy and blurry and dreamlike again.
And then Pennywise the [censored] Clown showed up, and it really went to hell. His face popped out of a wall. I tried willing myself to wake up, and "I did." Only getting up out of my bed, his face popped out of the wall again. I tried willing myself to wake up, and I woke up in a forest road. I walked down the forest road, and the [censored] clown was there and he jumped me. Then I was someplace else where I had a pencil in my hand and there was a grassy area nearby. This is where the real loop started. Every time I'd go down to the grassy area, and every time, Pennywise would be there, and he would try to kill me while babbling about awful, dark things that I can only half-remember. Every time, I'd try to stab him, and every time, it did nothing. Every time, I forgot what was going to happen until the very end. Every time, I got more and more agitated and angry, because I didn't know what was happening.
Then, on the tenth or so time this happened, I was just perfect fury. I wasn't even afraid of the damn clown anymore, even though it was currently going for my jugular. I just stabbed it with my pencil over and over and over and over... and over. And it started bleeding. Half it's face was already cut to pieces and it wasn't stopping. So I jabbed my pencil in its eye over and over. It was gory as hell. For another second or two, everything felt real again, and I saw him stabbed up with his eye all gory. And I wouldn't. Stop. Stabbing. Pennywise. I actually noted, subtly, as he dropped dead, that it didn't even sound like Tim Curry.
Then everything dissolved, and my normal dreams resumed, even though I could remember what just happened.
What. The. [censored]?
