Sometimes you wake up and feel confident, secure, content and ready to face the day and conquor the world. Some other days are different. Psychologically speaking, it's really amazing how the mind can work during the night in dream-like states. From a realistic perspective, that can't always be a good thing. How much are we in control of our dreams? or are we at all? why would we dream of things that upset us? why would we fabricate a false-reality to live in for that short period of time?
Last night I had one of those bad dreams - a nightmare. Similar in content to another one a few months back. A confusing scene manafactured by my conscience and played to my mind as a streaming movie. You know those dreams you have where you can't move or speak, you're paralized and helpless. The similarity between those and this was that although I could move, and talk, and act, I was still helpless to alter the scene which unfolded. As if I was to live though a reality to witness it and experience the inability to change its fate.
The purpose of such things cannot be known. Maybe a deeper psychologial meaning exists between the lines. A restless subconscience is allowed to react freely. Perhaps its simply a random occurance, neurotransmitters firing without reason. Either way, today I woke up early, in no frame of mind to conquor the world.

That's a shitty deal. Last night I had similar sort of thing. Not really terrifying, but not very good either. I kept chewing on a butter knife, even though it was breaking up all my teeth. And like you said, I was unable to alter the scene, regardless as my position of chief illustrator (as it took place in my mind). Anyways, I saw your pictures on FB, Awesome!! Hope you and Devo are having tons of fun.
