A Wolf Creek Nightmare

Last night, I got pretty drunk. Big surprise, there. I fell asleep to some Trailer Park Boys Xmas Special, and before I knew it, I found myself in the midst of a familiar territory that I've never been to. The outback.

In the dream, I was with my family, and who shows up? Mick Taylor! He played it cool for a while, and I was discretely trying to convince everyone that he was a maniacal fuck, and nobody would listen to me, even in my own subconscious. Suffice to say, he started killing everyone, and I spent all night running from rifle shots, big-ass hunting knives, and more.

Now, they say you don't dream for but a moment of your entire sleep. In the movie Inception, the deeper your sleep is, the more that can happen in the dream, as if you're in there for quite a long time. I went through a full-fledged adventure in Australia in this dream, trying to outrun one of my favorite cinematic psychopaths, and it kinda freaked me the fuck out.

I was glad to finally wake up from that whole mess, which seemed like I'd spent hours... days running from this fiend, but I'd only slept a couple of hours, tops.

Shaken from this haunting vision of people I know getting killed by a crazy Australian, I had a hard time getting back to sleep there for a few minutes. However, I was still sleeping off the booze, and I konked out once I could find peace with this. Then, I had the same fucking dream again.

I went through same chases, aware that bad things would happen at certain points, and they did. Sometimes, slightly differently, because I was trying to change them, but ultimately ending the same. I went down the same roads, through the same places, trying to run from something I just ran away from. Truly bizarre. Truly unsettling.



Not sure why I dreamt of Mick Taylor, since I haven't even thought about those movies in months, but the dude creeps me out. At the same time, I love him, but I do recall hearing how he had trouble finding work after the first movie, because he played the part so convincingly, which led him to cut his losses a decade later and jump back into the role with both feet. Too bad season 2 of that show sucked. It felt like it took a shit on the first season, which should have been a one-off event. Still, I'd watch more if they made 'em.
