Dream Log: Stabbed by a Witch

[mishalak]

The neighbor witch was helping her associate prepare a spell that involved straining thread through the noonday sun and a bowl of jalapenos and oatmeal. I do not know why I was there, but I do know that the witch was doing this to hurt her sister in some way. And maybe to take over the world. All this was happening some time after my audience with King Stannis, dream logic. So after a while I started trying to strike up a conversation with the neighbor witch, I have no idea why I thought this a good idea.

Apparently I was annoying the heck out of her with my nervous chatter. Because she came over and stabbed me with a poison pen after she finished helping her associate with her spell. I had been talking about my hobbies and asked her about her and she said, "Do you pray?" Then the stabbed me right bellow my ribs, "You should because this is a ___ poison pen and there is no antidote." I was angry so I snatched from her and stabbed her in the neck and said to her, "Good to know." Then I stabbed her associate while she was being all outraged and, "You can't do that to me!" Psychopathic people are so often like that, outraged that anyone would turn the tables on them and use their own game against them. Then I was going to use the pen to magically draw out the poison when I was awakened by my alarm.

Interesting double-meaning there with the physical poison pen and the more traditional literary poison pen. If this was my dream, I'd analyze it as that someone was saying something bad about me and I should turn around and say something bad about them. Although if it was my dream, it would be more likely that I would come up with some defense for the poison pen and everybody saw I was right in the end.

My dreams do not work that way. When I dream of a pen filled with poison it is because I took something from some other work and made it my own. In this case it was from Dune, the gom jabbar becomes something that looks like a fountain pen.

Ah, mine tend to have more to do with my real life than anything else.
