elaby | Dead people dream: Hmm...

So, some of you may know that I tend to have a lot of dead people in my dreams. They're almost exclusively inanimate dead people - corpses, normally covered or in coffins or tombs (but I'm always highly aware of them even if I can't see them). The other night, I had a very interesting dream. I often find myself in possession of mummies or other corpse artifacts in my dreams; in this one, I had an entire room of them in glass cases or covered with shrouds. As usual, I was terrified of them and didn't want to have responsibility for keeping them, but I had to check the room to make sure they were safe. One of them was laying on a stone bed with some kind of gauzy cloth draped over it. As I was leaving, to my horror, it started moving. It was laying on its back, and it turned over onto its stomach. As it did, I noticed that its head was an empty shell (no brain left) and I thought "How is it moving with no brain?!" Then all the other corpses in the room started to move too.

And you know what? I suddenly realized that they were all really nice and all they wanted was to have someone pay attention to them. And so we had a party. A little boy sat in my lap and we ate a chocolate mousse tart together.
