GOOD & BAD DREAMS: Murdering People

Huffington Post had this article today about this guy who killed his wife and posted photos of the body and his confession on Facebook.

I keep having these murder dreams. And they are generally the same theme, where in my dream, I am the murderer, and I’m not so concerned that I kill people, I’m mostly concerned about the evidence I left behind and that I will be caught.

A few months ago, I had two dreams within a few days, like a Law and Order to-be-continued series. In episode 1, I murder a woman in her late 40’s/early 50’s. She has wavy blonde hair, and she is about 5-6, maybe a few pounds heavy, but not fat. She is wearing what I think to be Old Navy shorts and a Banana Republic navy top with white print little anchors.

I murder her by stabbing her with a 10-inch chef knife from Williams Sonoma. Then she falls onto a 4’ x 8’ piece of particle board that I bought from Home Depot (which you can get in a multitude of sizes! Mine was 4′ x 8′ x 1/4″). I fold her into the particle board by making a sandwich with another piece of board. And then I shatter the particle board (and her) into multiple pieces with a sledge hammer, also from Home Depot. And then I leave the scene of the crime.

In episode 2, the problem is this: I have apparently left the shopping bags from Williams Sonoma and Home Depot, with my receipts, where I used my debit card, at the Scene of the Crime. And by the time I remember I left my receipts there, I had already heard the news report about the murder on KYW, so I CAN’T GO BACK because people are gathering around the Scene of the Crime!

Last week I had another Murder Dream. This time, I murder a woman and a man. I can’t remember what they look like, or anything about them. But the woman, in my dream, somehow I turn her to dust, and I place her remains inside a bottle of Essie purple nail polish. The man, the way I kill him is I buy him a Wawa hoagie with some kind of device inside that he bites into and kills him.

In both cases again I leave a bag at the scene of the crime for the nail polish purchase and the hoagie purchase, and I hear about the murders on KYW, so I can’t return to the scene of the crime to get rid of the evidence.

I am so worried about getting caught in these dreams. I can’t imagine a person committing murder and posting it to Facebook. But then again, my security settings only allow my Friends to see my posts. So if I did commit murder, and post it to Facebook, maybe my Facebook Friends wouldn’t tell anyone?
