Truth. If you read weird books and watch weird shows, you will dream weird dreams.
After dosing my brain with Jasper Fforde and Iain M. Banks, and Inception and Fringe season 2, I definitely had a dream in which I repeatedly kept waking up from a dream in which I was chasing someone (possibly another version of myself) through my own mindscape because I passionately wanted to torture them.
I’m doing better now, though.
