Poisoned by malevolence
Mar. 5th, 2012 08:59 amI had a nightmare last night for the first time in yoinks -- the kind that left me paralyzed with fear and practically screaming out loud as I woke up. The dream had been completely fine up until it went bad. I was hanging out with my parents. My mom and I went into a house, and suddenly a look of absolute terror and hopeless despair entered her eyes. There was an utterly malevolent spirit behind me where I couldn't see it but she could, and it was taking form out of the void to do us harm.
The only reason I note this dream is that it has left me feeling poisoned this morning. I feel vaguely sick from it. Now maybe the causality actually runs in the other direction, and my feeling of physical sickness is what caused the nightmare. But I could feel waves of fear passing through my body for a half hour after I woke from the nightmare. I can still feel it in my muscles and in my guts. The fear of a malevolent monstrosity. I think the last time I felt this way, actually, was after I saw No Country for Old Men four of five years ago.
