Let me tell you about a dream I had
7 years ago
Scribbling nonsense all across the board like jaguars leaping from trees of leather bodices encasing aged withered corpses whose eyes dazzle with the light of one million and three silver satellites flying over Los Angeles hiding illegal immigrants from Irish potato farms built atop the golden ruins of El Dorado filled with demonic Ewoks hurling tremendous tankards of tons of Tylenol at the panda bear ninjas that hide around every corner of the magic square building trying desperately to pull up its skirt and set roots on another cubic square inch of the board upon which I am scribbling nonsense.
I had a rather surreal experience last night.
My dreams tend to be extremely disjointed so it's hard to remember what led up to this, all I remember vaguely are some rooms of an underwater facility, no surprise since I was watching gameplay of SOMA before turning in.
It was dark, I was feeling tired, so I sat down in a chair.
The chair was tilted backward, I guess, so I couldn't really see much around me.
Suddenly I started to see a faint light coming from nearby, steadily approaching.
And I heard a girl's voice speaking.
"Snip. Snip. Snip. Snip."
It was like a song or a nursery rhyme,
She mentioned a lot of body parts.
"Eyes. Fingers. Toes. Penis."
There were other words I can't remember, some just nonsensical.
At some point she said "You. The real you."
And then I realized I was awake.
I couldn't bring myself to move.
My legs were pulled up under the blankets and my arms were out to my sides, as if I had been sitting in that tilted chair.
My mouth was hanging wide open, completely dried out.
And I could still hear the girl's voice.
"Snip. Snip. Snip. Snip."
I felt like I must be in shock.
It took me a few moments to realize that I had in fact been dreaming, and I regained control over myself.
I guess this is some kind of sleep paralysis?
I just felt like I had to write this down.
So there you go, have fun with that.

Maybe someone was experimenting with mind control on your brain.
That isn't me.
