Disturbing dream (by alaric)
Last night, I dreampt I was having a heart attack - horrid pains in my left arm, then I was taken to a hospital and wired into monitors and had a drip inserted, again into my left arm - then I woke up to find that I'd fallen asleep with my left arm bent into an uncomfortable position and it was in agony!
It always fascinates me, how the human mind manages to weave external stimuli into our dreams like that. The classic case is when somebody is shouting at you to wake up or an alarm clock goes off, and your brain weaves it into your dream for a few seconds before you come round...
