100 years ago today, my great-uncle was at the 3rd Battle of Ypres, the Battle of Passchendaele.
We remember. Forever.

I had a dream last night where I was investigating some person. I think they were a teacher at my old highschool, but then they turned out to be a murderer, and I think there was something about a weird piece of art made of different colored blocks of wood arranged in a 3rd spiral pattern, which was like a code that said I killed like x number of people. Anyway, me and a person I was with (I think they were on my side, and there were some others maybe? Dreaming is weird.) got stabbed, me less deeply than the friend, by a pocket knife.
And then we're just like hanging out, waiting for the ambulance to show up, but instead it's just a group of paramedics. And they took us out to a weird lobby area and started stitching up my friend, and I just stood around and watched, and kept looking at my stab wound, which was leaking blood. I thought to myself I've heard that a stab wound has like a 50% chance of killing you if you get help right away, and I'm just standing around. This is incorrect, but dreams.
Then I was wandering around in a New England style forest, still leaking blood. And then I got the sense that I had been doing that for like, a whole day, getting weaker and weaker. Then I was arriving back home from a walk in said forest, still bleeding. And then I just wandered off again without getting help, still thinking about that 50% chance to die.
I had worked out pretty hard before going to sleep, so my abs did hurt, which likely explains this, but it doesn't explain how I felt. I stood around and watched myself bleeding out and I liked it a lot. I liked the fact that I wasn't incapacitated by my pain, and I liked that I just wandered around without getting stitched up. I felt tough, even though I knew I was dying.
Is that normal? Has anyone else had a dream where you got a potentially fatal wound and liked it?

Um, no. I cannot say that I have. :/
Although the few dreams that I recall after waking that might have been going/gone south usually end up with me saying 'F@#$ it! This is a dream!!' And consciously changing it. Usually.

Yeah. I'm usually good with long hours, but this has been a real bear of a day. Mentally and physically draining.
You and Treppa BOTH saw a bear?!?! What are the odds!?!?
(J/K!) ;)
Sorry to hear that Pat, hopefully things will look and feel better once you get some, you know, actual SLEEP??!? :)
(I USED to be able to get by on as little as 2 hours a night for a week or more, but that was when I was a few years younger! ;P Nowadays, Aged Wizard needs his beauty sleep! At least 4-5 hours a night. More preferred.) :D
Be well all, I have to go back to work now. (And actually DO something productive!) -_-

I've never seen a wild bear before, so that's a new life experience. Which is cool.
Very cool. Last time I saw a bear in the wild, I was sitting on the back of a horse. Fortunately, the horse did not see - or smell - the bear. :)

I see weird things at night, just out of the corner of my eye. Huge, long flapping wings. Tawny shapes that leap straight up low bluffs. Long, low things that streak across the road ahead. Things with green eyes, puffy butts, and big, fluffy tails like snow leopards.
I think the wings are owls. Honestly not sure about the rest.

as i. have been watching the mist, this is a great concern to me.
