BAH! This is the worst morning of my life, and I shall tell you why...
Basically it's 1:30am... and I am terrified of falling back to sleep. The reason is I am convinced that my unconcious mind, and my body are plotting together to kill me. Let me explain:
About 2 years ago, I came home from calgary for christmas break, and I was violently ill with the flu (as I am right now)... and I go to bed. Of coarse, when I have the flu, my feet shake uncontrollably and I shiver, so while i'm sleeping, my body crosses my legs, locking them from shaking, and I secure my arms crossed under my armpits... now in normal circumstances, this would be a really comfortable and warm and pleasent position to fall asleep in... but not when you fall asleep and your mind is trying to kill you...
So what happened was, I started to dream that someone had put me in a burlap sack and tied my arms and legs together and thrown me in the river. So basically, my dream mind was telling my body to stop breathing, and I did in real life. I had a very hard time getting untied and out of that burlap sack, and when I woke up, I was panting and sweating and crying like a fool.
Anyhow, tonight a similar thing happened where I went into that same position, only this time I was dreaming that i really sucked at the bass guitar, and i just started to hyperventilate and die... I could see myself fdying in my dream, and in real life, my throat had dryed up and closed, so i couldn't breathe... the only way i got out of it, was I had to try and wake myself up, and turn to my side so that my throat would open again... This proves to be very difficult in the position i was in, not to mention I was in a deep sleep... so I managed to do it though, and i woke up again sweating and panting and crying.
Anyhow, thats my story of how, my body tries to kill itself when I am sick. STUPID BODY! I'm calling in sick to work today, this will be the first time i've done that where i actually AM sick.
Sometimes when I have the flu, it feels like my body is getting really really small like a gnome, and everything around me is getting really really big, like the marshmallow man from ghostbusters, and I can hear that sinister laugh he makes, as everything around me tries to engulf my body...
