Months ago I had a bizarre dream where I got shot in the head with a shotgun, then slid down the stairs, still alive, bleeding, and paralyzed. I was croaking with a dry mouth, "Help me." When I woke up my ears were ringing like it had actually happened. I can still, to this day, hear the boom of the gun going off, and feel the steps on my back as I slid down them. I sat bolt upright in bed, immediately wide awake, and said to myself, "What the hell was that???" Didn't sleep well the rest of the night.
