Most everybody dreams, although many don't remember them. I don't know of any evidence indicating that people are more mentally healthy if they dream, but dreaming is correlated with the storage of memories.<br /><br />Erik, I'm gonna have to come up with an ending and it looks like I'm not gonna dream it.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-4838225260882448262010-11-16T21:16:42.754-06:002010-11-16T21:16:42.754-06:00Holy moly, it's like a ready made story from t...Holy moly, it's like a ready made story from the dream well ~ now everyone wants to know how it will end . . .Erik Donald Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02332500850365598564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-19785824708160049252010-11-16T19:13:37.871-06:002010-11-16T19:13:37.871-06:00You've been dreaming a lot lately, it seems.

My dreams are unpleasant but boring.<br /><br />I think dreams are more frightening than stories because when we read or watch a movie, we know it's simply made up.

I wouldn't want to see how it ended if I were in it!<br /><br />Something really awful happened at a school in another community. It literally haunted me. I wrote a story in my mind about the events and that enabled me to process the horror of it (it bothered me too much to put on paper). I gave the 'story' an ending so that I could move on. Your statement, "I'll have to write the story to see how it turns out." made me think of that.jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08547226679311827501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-4112228308443886002010-11-15T10:43:57.817-06:002010-11-15T10:43:57.817-06:00Barrie, I tried, but tonight it was zombies.

Dell, I would have enjoyed staying. I'm sure the reason I woke up was just because the dream period was over. At the moment when the dream ended I felt a certain horrible realization, but there wasn't any stark terror.<br /><br />Richard Godwin, thanks, man. I particularly like thinking of myself as surreal. Love that kind of language. Your stuff often has that quality.<br /><br /> Mark, what goes around comes around. Zombies are in now, but werewolves will be back around at some point. I don't think they've ever gotten as badly saturated as the vampires.<br /><br /> BernardL, yeah, curiosity killed the cat. Tis a theme one picks up in the Ozark Mountains at time.
