Every night I can only sleep for a few hours at a time because I’m overwhelmed by nightmares where an unseen, uncaring force is trying to kill me. Tonight I dreamt I was trapped in a building surrounded by automated machines that would shoot me if I walked outside. In my dream I knew that the operators of the machines didn’t have strong feelings about killing me, they just couldn’t be bothered to turn off the machine. Last night I awoke moments before I was to be run over by a train heading nowhere and carrying nothing but with such a tight schedule to keep that they couldn’t apply the brakes even for a moment. I think I need to stop reading the news.
