Nightmare

Has changing the clocks been as hard on you as it has on me? I'd just reached the point where I could wake up naturally at 6 AM, feeling rested and good...and this happened. Once again I have to wake up in the dark, and it's like pulling myself out of my own grave.

Thank you, George W. Bush.

Anyway: what a hell of a dream.

I was half awake, and I had a feeling that something bad was happening. And then I realized that something bad was happening: I was sleepwalking, sort of, and I watched in helpless horror as I started robbing a bank.

What was particularly bizarre was that I knew that the teller I was robbing was actually an undercover policeman. I wasn't even wearing a mask, and he was taking detailed notes about my appearance. After he filled up my bag with cash, I pointed a gun at him with a smile and ordered him to hand over all his notes as well. Then I took off, realizing as I did that I hadn't done anything about the security cameras. They had my picture, and they were sure to get me. Still, this being a nightmare, I went home and went to bed. The thought of a lifetime in prison tormented me. What would happen to Sebastian?

Finally I dozed off, only to wake a bit later wondering if the experience had been a nightmare. So I picked up the bag lying next to my bed, opened it, and with a feeling of utter horror thumbed through the stacks of stolen $5,000 bills.

Later I woke up for real, thank goodness. This isn't the first time that my sleeping brain has played that sort of sick, sick joke on me; I've dreamed that I had leukemia, that the sun was going to go nova, and that I'd helped murder an innocent couple.

Fortunately, most of my dreams are a lot more pleasant.

Actually, the Daylight Savings Time change was Ed Markey's idea. Can't blame Bush for this particular stupid idea beyond not vetoing it

What would Spike say about your dream?

I wish they'd make us get up at five and let us off work at four all year round, but (for various silly economic reasons) this daylight savings time stuff works better.
