Happy as I am to be back in my home country, I find, at times, I am anticipating the return to Orange County. How a fondness for it has grown, I am not certain I could say.

Has anyone else seen something so bad in their dreams that even when you woke up, you couldn't get that horrible image out of your mind?

I'm seriously starting to consider professional help to really be the only end to this. I'm tired of dreaming, I'm tired of hearing about dreams and the weird things happening to people because they are dreaming. I don't need this in my life right now, I woke up this morning and realized I made a damn cork board of the ridiculous and freakish facts that I've been dreaming. These things aren't real, they didn't happen, they won't ever happen and it's not stress I need added on to my life.

Maybe self-medicating again will help

Packing up an apartment that you've lived in for five years is the worst.

I didn't realize how much stuff I have, but at least the house I got is bigger.

We often see so much pain in this Network, in this odd little community of ours. Enough that I very nearly feel guilty in how content with my life I am.

Most people say that when they pass a major milestone in their life, things feel much the same as they always did. But I could not disagree more; fifty does not feel at all like forty-nine did. It's so much better than forty-nine was. I have a partner with whom I an entirely happy. My practice continues to go well, I'm able to provide myself and my partner with a very comfortable lifestyle.

It's more than I ever could have hoped for, and I find myself deeply gratified and thankful for what life has given me.

Both my parents have died in my dreams. There's not even a grave for me to visit. I almost died too and now I'm mostly stuck in a hospital there. I haven't felt right since.

There shouldn't be anything worse that can happen. The danger's passed but I still feel scared of going back to sleep.

Private to Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham.

I've been seeing you both in my dreams. There are other people too. A Dr. Bloom and a Freddie. Everyone's telling me things and I'm so confused. I just wanted to go home, and we did. I saw my mom's blood and then I woke up.

Does any of that make sense? Is that what you saw in your dreams too?

My dreams have turned into nightmares. It started with my father saying strange things that didn't make sense to me. Then he started doing terrible things and making me do terrible things.

I wake up feeling like I'm a monster he's a monster and hating myself him.

Can dreams turn people into monsters?

I've noticed people talking about dreams. Maybe that got into my subconscious, because I remember the dream I had last night vividly. I was back home and planning a mountain climbing trip with my mother. We were going to go to Eagle Mountain for her 45th birthday. She was telling me that we'd be able to see Lake Superior from there.

The thing is that my Mom died years before she would have been 45. And I was young when she died, too young to go mountain climbing. It was strange, but kind of nice. I got to see my mother again. I didn't feel lonely when I woke up, even if it is Valentine's day.

The priest I mentioned from my last dreams told me that he had killed the man we found in his basement due to his confession. Maybe they are connected, but unless it's a copy cat or someone who personally knew that man, then I'm still at a loss on that one. Then the main suspect, Alex, was released since we had no real evidence on him, but I just know he's involved somehow but the clues aren't there and I can't keep a hold on him just because of my gut feeling.

When we released Alex, Dover was outside waiting and jumped the kid. The kid told him that 'they didn't cry until I left them', but no one else heard it. I wish someone else had heard it.

I have a feeling that Dover is going to do something stupid, and he's not going to think about his daughter in all of this.

Damn. I need more sleep.

This dream deja vu is just weird enough that I'm almost okay with it. This version of me is a lot more messed up this time around, maybe that makes it easier. Not to mention that apparently we're "murder husbands" now. Murder husbands. I even woke up to find that issue of TattleCrime mixed in with the morning papers.

On that note, what does a guy get his murder husband for his fiftieth birthday?

The snow's really pretty, it reminds me of home. which is bad in and of itself.

I've been having really bad nightmares lately. What do you all do when you're awake at 3AM and can't get back to sleep? I've been studying or quietly sneaking out to Taco Bell.

If I am to remember the saying right, if I am never to dream again, it would be too soon. After a month of nothing but pleasant darkness, I am exasperated.

And then I come into my office tonight to find this garish clock has appeared.

Well, I wanted to do this last week but our apartment needed a little more work than I expected before we could have guests over, so I guess I have to push this to this week instead!

As some of you know, Raistlin and I just moved into this great county and it's absolutely wonderful! And all of you seem like such great people and we'd really like to get to know all of you, so Raistlin and I are going to have an apartment warming party this Friday and all of you are welcome!

We live at [address] an address someplace but I guess you'll have to ask for it and I always leave the door unlocked so just feel free to start coming by whenever you want! Though preferably not before Friday because I haven't finished decorating yet!

I think, perhaps, autumn and winter are my favourite times of year for cooking. The fruits and vegetables that are in season this time of year have deeper, more hearty flavours. As though staying in the earth until this time has given them that richness.

There are, of course, the vegetables that first come to mind when someone mentions fall recipes; squash, or sweet potatoes. But the fruits deserve just as much attention. Pomegranate, of course, is one. Or muscadine grapes, which are just as purple on the inside as they are outside.

I heard about this place from a co-worker who suggested that I join up, I resisted at first since I didn't see the point, but here I am anyway. My mother would be quite upset if she found out since I don't have a Facebook account and she's constantly telling me about extended family members and what's going on with them. It's not that I don't care, but I don't need to know every little detail of their lives or see that funny picture they posted.

I'm David Loki, I work with Orange PD, it's nice to meet you all I think.

Given what seems to be an increase of disturbing dreams and volatile behaviour of late, I would like to remind the members of this community that my services as a professional psychiatrist are available.

Please contact me, Doctor Hannibal Lecter, at [number] if you have need of me, or would like a recommendation to one of my colleagues. I am certain there are other mental health professionals in the area, as well.

These dreams give little reprieve, no? I feel I have barely ended one set when a new begins. These new ones seem much like my first, apart from some changes in persons. At the very least, I have some idea of what to expect at the end of them.

My dreams seem to have come to a close once more, but I must say I'm not nearly so satisfied with this conclusion as I was with the last. There is a sense of things left unsaid. Less of an ending, and more of an abrupt stop.

It is nice to wake up and find, for once, my dreams have given me something that is not dirt and that will not inflict harm. Though I admit I have little use for fifteenth century fashion or a sword, but they are finely made so perhaps I will find a place to display the sword.

I do think there are several on this network who have received such a gift, yes?

Have you ever had a dream that was so damn real that even after waking up it terrifies you? I've never been one to remember dreams but tonight was so vivid. I dreamed that I was little and that my parents and my sister were killed in a car accident. For it to be just a dream the pain was so real. And then my brother put his entire life on hold to take care of me.

I know that none of them were really happy getting a phone call in the middle of the night but I just had to hear their voices.

I don't think I'll be going back to sleep tonight.

Do you ever feel, during the course of your dreams, as though you are watching a film of some kind? A horror film, for instance, wherein the hero is headed towards his inevitable doom, and no matter how you scream at him to watch his back, he never sees the monster lurking just behind him.

I feel as though my dreams are coming to exactly such a point.

I am thinking of hosting a small dinner party for a few of my associates, in honour of Valentine's Day, and because I haven't hosted a party in far too long.

My mind went immediately to serving seared beef heart, or perhaps a tartar, but I wondered if that might not be a tad cliché.

So I will present the question to the general public: would serving heart for a Valentine's dinner party be too much?

Despite having lived in America for some time now, it never ceases to surprise me how seriously Americans take their various holidays. No sooner have we finished with Christmas, than Valentines decorations are ushered out in its place.

I am looking forward to the lull between Fourth of July and Halloween. At least there will be no gaudy decorations for a few months, then.

I have been doing a lot of reflecting, lately, given the holiday season. I think back to my childhood Christmases in Europe, and I realize that our Christmas Eve dinner was not entirely dissimilar to the idea of American Thanksgiving, which I experienced for the first time this year.

The Christmas Eve dinner would have twelve dishes, to represent the twelve Apostles, though we would have fish and vegetables instead of your turkey.  The children would perform a little song or a poem, or something similar before they could open their presents. Though that was just in Lithuania, Christmases in France were a bit different.

It makes me miss my parents, my dear little sister, my aunt and uncle. In a way, it makes me long for a family Christmas again.

For as grisly and grim as my dreams started, I have to admit, they ended rather well. Or at least, it felt like an ending. There was a deep sense of closure to it, and all the loose threads that I had left hanging were wrapped up quite neatly. After which I flew off to Argentina with a woman I had fallen in love with.

Who could ask for more?

I had the same dreams last night. Or something like it. The names, the case, all the same but the situation was distorted. Way, way more messed up this time around.

It feels like I'm being hunted.

It feels like I'm being haunted.

I can't stop seeing it. I went down to do target practice and at first I just froze. Then it was like that moment when something lags and everything speeds up to catch up, I couldn't stop shooting.

I have a headache. I need a vacation.

Just when you think everything's wrapped up in these ridiculous dreams, you end up getting your face ruined and wind up as a drunk in Florida.

Strangely enough, I find that the more violent and disturbing my dreams become, the more I turn to my kitchen for comfort.

Not comfort eating, exactly, but comfort cooking. I prepare elaborate meals at three in the morning, only to pick at a bite or two before disposing of it and returning to bed. Such a waste of good food, but I've never been a fan of left-overs.

Perhaps I should channel my energies into a dinner party.

There is now a rock opera version of Everyman. A German rock opera, no less. While medieval morality plays are not the first works I would think of when translating into a completely different performance genre, I am always interested in seeing new takes on older works. I hope a full recording of the production will be made available, as the clips I have found are...intriguing.

I'm providing a link that gives some information about the productions as well as couple of videos. The character design for Death--or, in this case, Der Tod--is not exactly work-safe. There are costume breasts. This Death looks like some strange melding of a xenomorph, Gary Oldman's elderly Dracula, and a dominatrix.

My dreams seem to be becoming increasingly violent and disturbing. Perhaps the most disturbing part is that I find myself attempting to justify the violence I commit inside my dreams. I try to convince myself that there was no other choice, though I know logically that this is not true.

I am not a good man, in my dreams. My only sense of peace comes from my choice to be a good man, here.

I find it highly alarming that fewer people aren't panicking about the activity outside. I'll also overlook the enthusiasm with which people analyze their dreams.

This wouldn't have happened in Cambridge. I don't know if I should be glad or remorseful that I moved here.
