Writer's Block: Dream on

I remember the most vivid ones. Sometimes my dreams feel a lot like some sort of highly dramatic action/adventure movie. I do a lot of flying, jumping around, running, etc. Lots of chasing/running away from bad guys and such. It almost feels like a video game, actually: I have a ton of mobility that I just don't have in waking life. I usually feel drained and sad after these, though. I run marathons and fly over mountains in my dreams. Running around Freddy's for an hour kills me sometimes in reality.
My psyche also likes to use that time to get me to think about things I don't normally let the conscious brain pick at. Most of the time, this just results in having sordid naughty dreams about people (sometimes people I hadn't consciously acknowledged as interesting that way--which can get weird when I see that person again later.) Sometimes it's a lot of anger and desire for revenge against people who've hurt me (I can get awfully violent in my dreams sometimes.)
I get the surreal stuff, too: Rescuing small critters or babies or whatever. Teeth falling out. Getting stranded in airports naked.
It's all very emotional, though. Even the weird stuff. Makes me wonder if maybe there's something I'm not really working through when I'm awake, and my brain wants me to let go and feel that stuff more.
And now, speaking of dreams... It's verreh late, so it's time to go have some.
