on saturday night, i had a pretty vivid dream in which i was in a tunnel under niagara falls (i have no idea.. it was a dream). i was walking through the tunnel and in the dream i had a vivid flashback that i had killed someone in that tunnel years earlier. and it came back to me in detail. like, i had somehow mentally blocked it out for years and it was suddenly coming back to me.
it was a pretty big mindfuck of a dream. i felt awful. it was a weird combination of disbelief, terror, and just general awfulness.
i woke up in the dark thinking “OH FUCK DID I KILL SOMEONE?”, quickly realizing that i was on a couch in powhatan and not under niagara falls and i was not a murderer. once all this had been established, i went back to sleep and dreamed other less-scary dreams.
i mentioned this to a few people and i instantly realized how uncomfortable a topic this was. first, i felt weird describing it in any detail whatsoever (even though the dream was pretty detailed). secondly, the people i told were clearly not sure how to react to my story.
the only person who admitted to committing murder in a dream was my roommate bill. he said he had dreamed it twice. you go, bill!
anyway, is this totally weird? have any of you dreamed that you killed someone?
