I feel like I'm losing it. I have a few tangible reasons for this sensation.
1) The last 5 nights I have had either work or class and I have slept through or called in sick to all of them except one appearance at work. I am first plagued with extreme insomnia (I can't sleep until about 5 or 6am), and then average about 12 to 14 hours of sleep. Today I woke up at 5pm, yesterday at 3pm. Usually I have a very consistent biological clock. This really bothers me.
2) Every night I have the most insane dream I have ever had. Each successive one is more insane than the last. They never involve people relevant to my current life and always bring in figures or places from my distant past. These dreams are absolutely illogical, long winded and completely confusing even to me. Feel free to skip this section or read it for your own amusement.
a) The first dream I can remember involves me in my home town of many, many years ago. Only I wasn't a child, I was my own age. I was walking toward my home and along the way there were gigantic red and polka dotted mushrooms lining the street. I walk past the turn I would have to make to go to my home's address and continue off into some sort of void that gives off strong negative energy. I wake up.
b) This happens the same night as the above dream, after waking up in a cold sweat (this phrase is used a lot in artistic expression but was literally the case). Anyways, I'm at an old friends house who happens to live on a farm in the middle of nowhere. The farm is overrun by a pair of giants dressed as normal people and carrying on normal conversation. I am immediately swept over by the fear that I will be crushed by one of them even though they are not acting maliciously and run into the house. As I run, I run by the aforementioned friend to see this friend pick up a rock and throw it at the giants. I duck inside. Expecting the house to come down immediately I am somewhat suprised when the basement wall (where I am hiding) collapses and an 18-wheeler breaks through. I either wake up at this point or forget the rest of the dream.
c) This dream happened the same night, again. I happen to be friends of the family who has born the "chosen" child in the distant future. Some alien race with bizarre architecture but physically the same as humans obviously has interest in the chosen child. We decide to hide the child in a several thousand foot deep giant concrete bunker hidden under a hospital. The hospital comes under attack from the hostiles and we fight back with various weaponry. I'm not sure how the transition occurs but I find myself Solid Snake status inside the alien headquarters. They are briefing and I am reporting everything back home, because I can see it. They hear me and come after me. I take them on a long chase that involves me throwing many nuclear grenades and killing many of them, but they're evil henchmen and there are infinite of them. I make my way outside of the headquarters and find myself on a strange alien planet and the HQ is actually an egyptian pyramid. I see two special henchmen (they're dressed differently so they're clearly special) saying funny words. They summon a massive avatar of evil which is liquidy and black to destroy me. I battle with the avatar of evil and somehow win. The specifics are foggy. I somehow am able to recreate the spell that summons the giant and summon one of my own. I order it to destroy the headquarters and it does. I wake up.
These were all from last night. Each of the four other nights I've had similar dreams that I subsequently forget but am deeply disturbed by.
3) I wake up today at 5pm and it's completely dark outside, it's raining very hard, and there are intense stormy winds. My house, which is the home of 9 people, is completely dark and noone appears to be home. I come downstairs and make myself some food, brooding over my dreams. A roommate of mine comes home and tells me she was just attacked by a stray dog on our street. I walk outside, and the stormy weather is really freaking me out at this point for some reason, and I see the dog. It's completely black and has one white paw. I get really freaked out at this point and walk back itoward the house. Some fat lady pulls up in her car and acts like it's her dog, and I tell her that my friend was attacked by this dog. She says it isn't hers. I wonder why she gets out of her car in the middle of pouring rain and 60mph winds to pick up stray dogs she doesn't recognize. This really freaks me out. I go inside and type this.
