Three Legged Dog

Didn't go anywhere today.  Didn't have the heart to.  I was sick.

Once again, the nightmares have proved the better of me.  Last night, dreamt of giant hands grabbing me before tearing me into little pieces and setting me on fire.  I could feel the skin being set alight, the flaying as it burned off, then my muscle and bone...  Woke up screaming in the middle of the night and my legs were so shaky I could barely stand up to get myself a glass of water.  Why are my dreams so vivid?

Went back to sleep again, not that I slept well for the rest of the night.  Woke up and took my medication with tea.
