Sick Dreams

[OnyxCougar]

Or, more correctly, Recurring Dreams you have while sick.

Usually, when I get sick, I have one of two dreams:

One is: I'm sitting at a sidewalk cafe (like in Paris) and a gigantic tire, or wheel, runs me over. Not a car, just a great big freaking tire. Flattens me.

The other is that I'll be at a dam, and there is a huge spillway. I'm walking on the spillway, and I miss my footing and start sliding down the spillway into the water, and gt sucked into huge turbine fans that chop me into itty bitty pieces.

I've had these dreams since childhood, and only when I'm sick. I've been sick now since Sunday night, and for the last 3 nights, I haven't been able to really sleep because every time I do, I just keep dreaming of email viruses over and over again. They just keep replicating, and no one can figure out where they are coming from, and even if they unplug their computer, they are still infected. My eyes pop open and I'm awake, feverish, and shivering all at the same time.

At this point I'm starting to think I'm sleep deprived. It's difficult to concentrate, and I get dizzy if I stand up too quickly. I'm trying really hard to drink water, since I've had maybe a quart of liquid total since Sunday.

But! The point of my post is this: how many of you have dreams when you are sick that are recurring? Can you remember them after? Do you know you're dreaming when you're "in" them?

I don't want to think I'm crazy. And right now I'm wondering.
