I had the weirdest dream last night:
I came home, presumably from work, and one of my windows was slightly open, and the blinds were all fucked up. Obviously, someone had broken in. I ran inside and looked around… TV, game consoles, even my coffee table was gone. I went into the kitchen and noticed that […]

I could buy a million locks and finally read a book in peace.
I was really hoping that yesterday’s physical exertion would cause me to just pass right out. That’s what people always say, isn’t it? “Exercise more, you’ll be able to sleep better.” Let me say that this is not always the case. Last night, […]

Day two. Significantly better than day one. Still, it would have been nice if there had been some warning.
I had a terrible dream last night. This is the description I cobbled together when it forcibly ejected me from REM sleep at 6am this morning:
Nightmare 11/27
I was at jady and kelly’s, hanging out and talking shit […]

My brain has been particularly ill-tempered and vengeful lately. I’ve had the worst dreams in the past couple of weeks. The themes are repetitive: death, loss, failure, confusion, helplessness. The characters vary; sometimes my family is there, other times, coworkers. One particularly bad dream starred my godmother. I wake up crying more often than not.
This […]

…I can’t wait for Sunday morning.
I wonder if I’ll live to be 65.
Which is better: being a recluse and pursuing all of the hobbies and interests that engage your mind, at the cost of being a lonely pathetic bastard, or going out with friends to bars and clubs and killing a few million brain cells? […]

In which, JR relates a most peculiar bit of nocturnal hallucinations.

For the past year and a half or so, I’ve routinely had horrible nightmares. Many times, they wake me up in the middle of the night, sometimes on the verge of tears. As a result, I am seldom well-rested.
I’ve sort of trained myself to get […]

I just had a very disturbing dream. Woke up shaking yet again.
I went to a 7-11 to buy a soda. The woman at the counter was very kind and warm. She noticed that the soda was overpriced and apparently had to go through some lengthy process to find and correct the amount she charged me. […]

I have had a terrible time sleeping this week. It’s a combination of anxiety, occupation of the mind at late hours, restlessness, and of course, my screwed up sleeping schedule during my lengthy vacation last week.
I keep thinking and dreaming about death. Not some kind of symbolic “death really means rebirth!!1″ thoughts and dreams, but […]

Last night, or this morning, rather, I woke up crying at around 5:30am. I had a horrible dream, very similar to the worst dream I have ever had. This is what I jotted down after I stopped sobbing like a little girl:

I don’t really have anything to say, I just thought typing some things here might help settle my mind and let the dreams come.
Speaking of dreams, in an effort to control, or at the very least, guide the content of my nightmares, I’ve tuned my alarm clock to an ultra-religious AM radio station. This does […]

Last night, I had a dream. In it, my mom was going to prison, and I had to drive her there. It was the day before she had to turn herself in. I’m not sure what sparked that, but it was very… not fun.
Later in the dream, I fell in love and got married. Soon […]

Fuck sleep. Seriously. If you’re like me, you say “Fuck sleep.”
I’m tired of the dreams. So, I’m not sleeping anymore. Coffee and the espresso machine dad gave me will be my new best friend.
Several benefits will arise from this. More awake time means I can get more stuff done. And the mania that will ensue […]

I’ve had some pretty horrible dreams as of late.
Last night I dreamt that I was stuck on a tropical island with Jamie.
The night before, my dream had many parts. My mom had died. Someone had kept me from going to the funeral, and I made that person suffer. I was in a room with my […]

The purpose of this entry is to detail a disturbing dream I had, describe an odd thing I saw on the ride to work this morning, and divulge a fear that was realized moments ago.
The dream was disjointed, as usual. My car had been broken into. The radio face was broken off, but still in […]

Up at 10. Weird dream where I was talking to Floris about how he had his server wired. Decided - and this turned out to be ill-advised - to check my work email. 105 messages… Watched March of the Penguins, ate at Chik-fil-a.
Laura came by at 5:30. We got coffee, picked up one of her […]

I thought this new medication was supposed to stop the dreams?
Last night, I dreamt that my mom and Jamie were at my house. Jamie was talking to someone on the phone, and my mom was helping her pack. She was pissed at me for something. I, in typical fashion, was being ignored while trying to […]

I seriously just need to stop sleeping altogether.
I’m not going to go into detail. This medication has seriously altered my dreams. They take place is real settings, with real people, and real situations now, instead of the rapidly evolving, barely making any sense dreams I’ve grown to love.
Another big, big change is tactile sensation. When […]

I just had the worst dream I’ve ever had.
I’m not sure if I worked in some kind of vet’s office or what, but there was a room full of animals… mostly cats and dogs, some very young… and 2 nondescript women from work were there too. The room seemed to me like it was upstairs […]

I had a dream last night that had me absolutely terrified.
It took place in my house. It’s kind of jumbled now.. I had apparently been making fun of god and jesus and satan with someone, and when I went home, none of the lights in my house would turn on. There was electricity, because my […]

I had this very peculiar dream last night.
I was President Bush. I flew by helicopter with Cheney to some off-shore base. When I got there, the commander of the base asked me to go look for some soldier and ask him to supply the base with 10% of it’s capacity of weapons and food. I […]
