\nI just had a weird and kinda cool dream sequence and I just wrote it out being like \u201cman, I don\u2019t know what that was supposed to mean\u201d, and then I reread my description and it was just intensely, thuddingly obvious what it meant so I was like \u201cwhoops\u201d and deleted it.
you should have left it so some of our notions of self-esteem could stay afloat knowing that you are capable of error, that there are indeed things that you do not know
Shit, you do know how to flatter me.
Alright, I was in a zombie postapocalypse, but far enough off from the initial outbreak that the zombies had rotted to unthreatening - they were these white, swollen-faced maggot-things, if they were mobile at all it was slowly, teeth rotted out, you could take them out with one punch if you had to.
But it was still a lonesome windswept world, roaming the land scavenging houses, and then this one house I got to, doing my thing, and there was a cute 20something girl in there in sweats and a black tank top, and she was the first human I\u2019d seen in like, ever.
And so it was like a human reunion, we talked and talked and got along great, eventually it was like okay so what\u2019s your survival story and she was like \u201cOh, no, I died, just after the infection hit my ex and some guys came and chopped me up with some axes.\u201d And I was like \u201c\u2026huh, you don\u2019t look that chopped up\u201d and she was like \u201cyeah idk\u201d.
Which was weird even in dream logic but we kept it up and made some drinks and the sun set and we were talking on her bed and I asked her for a hug and I was going to ask her if I could sleep there hugging not even sexual just for the comfort but she was like \u201cno, it\u2019s Friday night, I\u2019m getting sick, I can\u2019t deal until Tuesday, get out of here, not until Tuesday\u201d and her face was turning green with goth-shadowed eyesockets and so I left.
And I was like \u201cWait, so she\u2019s undead too? But\u2026 cursed undead, not infected undead. I wonder how they get along? \u2026 \u2026I could deal with that.\u201d
And then I woke up and I was like dammit I liked that dream, I\u2019m going to try to fall back asleep and get back to it and for once it worked. I didn\u2019t meet her again but I met some other folks and we were going to resettle a college campus and I made plans to go find her and invite her along.
The meaning, of course, was \u201c>tfw no gf\u201d
The first few times I read your post I saw it as \u201cyou are capable of terror\u201d, how Freudian is that?
