I'm still alive

Posted by BoMToons - May 10th, 2011


After being down and out with bronchitis, I'm slowly getting back into reality. I had lots of time to lay there and think.

My dream (interpretations?):

I used to get really high fevers as a kid and have hallucinations. This time, I had a high fever, but just had a weird dream:

There was this new kind of tick, that had a long body with a large green translucent abdomen. When this tick would burrow into someone's flesh, the abdomen would glow green and pulsate.

My body was covered with these new insects, all burrowed in past their heads. It looked like I was covered in scales there were so many of them, all pulsing and sucking away my life.

I would methodically unscrew them from my skin and cast them aside, but somehow they filled back in as quickly as I could remove them.

At one point I sat down in the passenger's seat of my car and ran my hands through my hair when, to my horror and disgust, I discovered that even my head, under my hair, was layered with the ticks.

The dream was one where it all feels like reality and just when you're about to abandon yourself to the despair of living your life in the horrid circumstance, you wake up and all you can think about (as you lay there in your broken-fever sweat) is how grateful you are that it was just a dream.

I'm still alive

ok now get to work.

Im just guessing here:

your falling into some deep problems that will stick with at all times

Wouldn't it be even creepier if the bug actually exists? It might not suck out your life to an extreme of those circumstances you dreamt, but you never know....

My god... the concepts and the breaking point of reality and a dream world....

Sometimes I'll have myself weird dream factors. In fact, frequenting I have Deja Vu experiences (y'know, when you almost dream into the future?) I completely forget what happens in my dream then, but when that exact moment happens the following day, something just clicks in my head and says, "Hey, this exact moment happened in your dream!" It is such an amazing feeling...

But having ticks crawling around in your hair is a bit eerie and, in my opinion, having a reaction from your dream like you had, it must have been a hundred times more scary. Sorry to hear that happen to you man.

Going to be a pretty nasty tick season this year.

I wish you well, and I hope bronchitis doesn't overcome you again. Although, I'm still looking forward to your latest projects, hopefully it will be awesome! Best of luck. :)

Note to self:
...Don't leave the house this summer, new ticks have arrived.
Thank you bomtoon you have saved my life as well as many others tonight

this could be a good game idea or atleast a boss fight

My god you are too beautiful. :D

why does the tick have cthulu's face on it?

A large amount of any bug would creep me out. What you said is just plain scary. Also, how much done are you with Chibi Knight 2?

LICE ! uuu I HAD ONE

Thats an awesome dream, need to be a short movie

TWILIGHT ZONE

I had a dream where I was in a parade with the backstreet boys.

I had a long ten year stint where I died very often in my dreams.

It was terrifying, but a great way to wake up ready to face a day.

And of course that feeling that washes over you, the "I'm Still Alive!" feeling was almost like a drug. Complete despair followed by overwhelming relief.

I dunno, I kind of miss it... kinda.

Hope you get even better, and that it doesnt happen in real life.

LOL i got a tick on my private parts

ugh...

Wow

that's happened to me quite a few times. Unfortunately, those are the dreams i remember.
