Slow Motion

Slow Motion dreams are arguably the most irritating and upsetting dreams. I just woke up from an extremely vivid one.
I walked down the street next to Safeway, late at night, on my way home. Of course this guy -- grungy, bearded, mid fourties -- decided to approach me. I could tell he approached just because he knew I didn't want to be approached (like they do in Seattle), but I couldn't move any faster. He reached out to my shoulders. When I turned around to push him, and he began to laugh because I was moving so slow. It scared me that maybe I wouldn't be able to push him. The most annoying part was that I knew I was in a dream. I must have been half awake or something. I knew that if I could just wake up it would all go away. But, I have this codeine cough syrup (cough cough) and I think it made waking up slightly more difficult than usual.

Once I realized I wouldn't be able to wake up, I conjured up a vampire and it ripped the guy in half. I'm not even kidding.

I still wish I could have pushed him, but I rarely get to change stuff in my dreams so I'm pretty proud of that.

This weekend is very slow motion.

EDIT: So, remember the condescending guy from the Cha Cha in my last post? He totally had a beard, and put his hand on my shoulder! I wonder...

  1. Pushing the guy would have prolly been awesome, but how much awesomer is it that you used your insane magical powers to bring a vampire to kick his ass! What spell would that be, Hermione?
