And people insist I'm "weird" for it.

You know how the most common nightmare seems to be "perpetual falling"? Mine's like that... except I'm going up. Forever. Totally normal (so to speak) dream, then suddenly I'm airborne, flying over the landscape, and in total terror. Which is trally strange because in reality, I love flying. It seems for most people dreams about flying are exhilarating or liberating (which is why my nightmare makes me "weird"). I have that kind of dream too, though, only it's running. My feet are on the ground and the landscape is zooming past me, I'm leaping obstacles...

Still, I'll take perpetual floating nightmares over the fucking H.R. Giger / Hieronymus Bosch post-apocalyptic nightmares that led me to spend my teen years preventing deep sleep...
