Since I started to read fanfics about Xena and Gabrielle (or women carring their tempers and feathers) I have waken up in tears twice. I don't remember what the nightmares are about, but I do know they are about these stories I'm reading. Something bad happens to me in my dreams and I feel desperate and scary. I have a feeling that nothing and nobody can help me. I've lost somebody very important to me, and now I'm alone. It is a very scary thing to happen.
I don't feel very bad about these nightmares after I have a shower and a cup of tea. Hell, sometimes I forget about the whole thing at all; I wake up and start my day as usual. But during the day some pictures and feelings are returning, and I have shivers going down my spine.
