I don't often reflect on "who I am" anymore, not as much as I did when I was a teenager, when I had bouts of conscious identity crises. During that time, I was obsessed when changing my gender, and my name. I was even seeking out anyone who could help me achieve this, because my mother just...

Last night I was working hard on my current novel, one in which the two main characters both have psychological issues, ones which I studied and researched in fascination. Because these two characters are a bit like myself, only with extreme exaggerations in certain flaws, I started to realize I...

Last night, I had such an incredibly chilling nightmare, and it's been nagging at me all afternoon. Like most of my nightmares go, this didn't start off on a horrifying foot, but it slowly descending into madness as it went on. I had two dreams last night. One involved seeking shelter from bad...

I don't know why I feel the need to write this one down. In many ways, it was so charmingly witty and ridiculous. In most dreams, I feel nothing but fear. I'm afraid of everything. It comes as close to real life as anything can. I have some severe anxiety, which was never aided by...

While riding in a car with friends somewhere in the middle of nowhere on a long stretch of empty road, I saw an airplane in the sky, completely engulfed in flames. Even though I wasn't in the plane, I was terrified for the people within it and hoped they got out alive. Though the plane was somewhat...

As an author, a lot of my ideas for books come from dreams, more than I'd like to admit. I plan to write a novel loosely based on last night's dream, and I'm actually really excited to write it. The dream itself featured me, as male, following a young man around. You could definitely say I was...

I've been a bit of a nervous wreck all night and today. I was planning to go out this afternoon to do some swimming to help me relax, and finally, for the first time in weeks, it thunderstorms today. I feel like I'm slipping into some kind of subconscious hell. I've found some psychology...

These dreams are still happening, and they've been going on for months. They all play out differently and they aren't exactly identical to one another, but all-in-all, they're the exact same dreams on repeat, over and over. Two nights ago I dreamed that I was once again in a dilapidated,...

My dream last night was horrifying at the time. I played as Kevin for a little while, and usually, I really love dreams where I'm playing as him, but last night wasn't very fun at all. He didn't "come out" until after some crazy things started happening to me. I was in a very dark, weak, and poorly...

I have a lot of dreams where I'm playing as character's I've created in real life. I've had a heavy focus on two of mine lately, since they are the main characters of a novel I'm writing. Not only are they characters, but large parts of me. The characters are father and son, named Kevin...

Dream time: Christmas Eve, night. It's winter and snowing, but it isn't cold. I'm not even dressed in winter clothes. I treat it a lot like late spring weather. My boyfriend, James, and I go to a holiday-themed park, which is full of Christmas shops and games and indoor rides. We visit each of...

I forgot most of this dream, but there was a large, significant part of it that I do remember. A friend and I were staying in someone's house for a while, I don't remember why. But we went walking in the woods, in an eerie swamp area. By the swampy water was a really rickety old wooden house or...

Lately, every night my dreams have involved a battle or war of some kind. I don't remember any other details in them, except it's me versus various enemies, and they all look and act as if they belong in video games (that's not odd, I play tons of video games). Almost every time, however, when...

I've had dreams a lot in the past where men try to talk with the female version of me and I get upset with them, usually because they eventually try to communicate in a sexual manner. When I would push them away, they would chase me down and act enraged or violent and yell at me a lot, or display...

My dream last night was a bit strange, and I felt really weird when I woke up. "Weird" as in "really disturbed." I don't remember the details, but I do remember something about being in a science class for a brief period of time. The one thing I do remember quite well from this dream is that...
