Rough awakenings...fs...

Ever had'em?

One of those days (or everyday in some cases, ugh...) when you wake up and feel like you weight like a ton of bricks compressed in thick homo sapiens prima butter.

Man, I don't drink so I can't imagine a hangover and I'm sure it's not even remotely close, but with these wakings, I don't want to know.

So, I'm in the lobby (between the dream world and the waking world) and I'm having this odd waiting-in-line-to-wake-up dream about me vomiting 5 times, thinking to myself "shit, I'm barfing all over the sheets!!, oh well...", but then I wake up and open my eyes and stare at this large blotch of saliva over my pillow and mattress. Seems I had taken a face dive on my bed at some point and never recovered.

By this time my iPod's headphones were tangled God-knows-why-and-where all around my neck, so I formed the coherent thought (the first) and decided to untangle me. That's when I saw the blood.

Yes, blood. Red kroovy and all that jazz. Dracula's ol'vineyard of 1981 and the works.

Not blood in TheGodfather-horsehead-OMFG-AAARGHH blood, more like spread-it-a-bit-here-a-bit-there kind. Had some on my nose and some on my wrists.

By this point my second (less coherent) thought wandered off into pondering if I had chewed off my wrists, but then I rememembered these puppies are squirters if sliced properly.

So, I grumbled and gruffed like GBM-in-the-Can and headed for the bathroom and had to stop as I stared myself in the mirror. Something out of a Heavy Metal magazine gone wrong inside Pee Wee Herman's playhouse. Blood over my nose from a popped zit gone wrong, hair all a tangled mess worse than the Congo's jungle and dry saliva over my mouth.

I merely chuckled what I thought was a caveman grunting in ache for some woman flesh and washed my face off, but it didn't do much effect, after one hour of waking up I'm still booting up the systems (like a multi levelled 486 pc, waht?), I still can't talk 100% properly and still feel my body weights more than usual (which is already a doozy...owie). I'm even concentrating like heck to type all of this. So, that's just one-of-those-mornings.

It's great to be on vaycay :).

[EDIT]Yes, it makes me look less disturbing if I explain where the blood came from...[/EDIT]

Sometimes in the mornings, and usually on weekends - there is a ten to thirty minute period of time when I'm neither fully asleep or awake, and I can't decide on whether or not what I'm dreaming is actually true.

Previously, I've lain in bed worrying for 30 minutes what I was going to do with the body of someone I was convinced I had killed(!) and on another occasion I'd been worrying about what I was going to do about the mafia boss who I had failed to inform when I changed my red car for a battleship grey one (which was against the rules.) :D Scary. Brainsses are weird, neh?

Oh hell yes! I've had a very similar experience on a couple of occasions when half-asleep and half-awake during the early morning. The only difference is that I hadn't directly killed the person, but was responsible for their death instead.

Damn crazy human mind :D

I'm pretty sure everyone has or will have had a moment like that at some point in their life, I've had one, but it was pretty nonsensible with pretty much words I could'nt understand, to become fully awake (yet still tired) to find I had blood over myself, and a need to use the bathroom. How this happens in the middle of the night, I may never know, wether or not this story helped you, is probably an obvious no though.

So where did the blood come from?

Gorgonseye on 6/5/2006 at 00:17

Woke up with a bloody nose! Go figure huh?

ALTERNATE ENDING: You got cancer!

What, now I'm a choose your own adventure book? Please turn to page 4 for go to sleep at 9:00 or turn to page 10 if Gorgonseye should stay up all night. Sheesh! :p

I was also asking the original poster where the blood came from in his case.
