User blog:MJNSEIFER/Give Yourself Goosebumps dream I've had twice.

Hi everyone. This probably won't be all that interesting, but I felt like sharing this with you. There is a dream that I have had twice, relating to the Give Yourself Goosebumps series, though I only really remember the first dream, but I'm sure I have had it twice. However, it is not a dream about anything from the books themselves, as you'd expect (like, I didn't have a nightmare about one of the monsters, or anything), but a dream about the book series itself, of all things.

Although I am super behind with updating it, I own a Give Yourself Goosebumps review blog on Live Journal, as some of you may know (I know at least two people do), and my dream relates to that. In my dream, there is a GYG book that doesn't actually exist in real life, but in my dream this book is apparently really scary, far more than a book with the target audience of Goosebumps should be. I don't remember what the book was about or what it was called, if I even knew in the dreams, but in the first dream, I feel like the cover had something to do with hospital sheets, or possibly a cape (but I feel like it was the former) and according to my dream, I have only ever read this book once, and never did again, because it was too scary for me. However, I know that this book is the next one I have to review, or it is coming up soon, and I know I have to read it again so I can complete my blog (which, believe it or not, I still intend to do), but the whole idea of reading that book again is too horrifying a thought.

I am actually fascinated with dreams, and one of the things I find fascinating, is that we just accept things to be real in our dreams, when we should know they're not, as if the dream gives us a script, and we just play the roles given to us, whether it's dreaming about being in a place we left years ago, or television characters being real - we just accept that this is "real" when realistically we should see this is wrong, and that we have to be dreaming. In my dream, I not only believe that this GYG book is real, but also that it really was so scary that I couldn't handle reading it, yet when I woke up, I realized "Hang on, that book doesn't exist!" and I should know it doesn't - I know the GYG books.

Hope you didn't mind me sharing this with you.
