Most of you all who have been concerned have stopped by to read and then throw me a message, phone call, text message just to make sure I was far from suicidal. I appreciated that and it makes me glad to have friends like you all. I know that in my subconscious dreams, it&#8217;s been a rather odd time.<\/p>\n<p>I have been in a hospital bed for the past 3 days in my dream world, hooked up to IV&#8217;s of TPN&#8217;s, pain drug drips, and other things to try to sustain my ethereal existence. I had the best &#8220;bedside&#8221; being that it was just my hospital bed on the shore of the beach. The Stone Maiden that I have dreamed about in the past 5 years was there&#8230; Holding two swords that I typically wield in the dream world: The Death Blade and Sacred Edge. There were also 3 other swords-wielding warriors with the Stone Maiden watching my vitals on the hospital equipment as well as monitoring my IV pumps. I was comatose and just laying in silence as the waves crashed gently on the shore. It wouldn&#8217;t be until last night that I would finally come to. The Stone Maiden held me close as if she had feared possibly losing me. The other warriors smiled that I was finally able to look up and smile at the beach.<\/p>\n<p>For once, it was nice not to be locked into a mission where I need to slay 500 mutated animals that have been injected with demonic essences and set loose in a city. The healing is mainly what was really symbolic in the dream&#8230; The matter that I could finally break out of my coma, breath on my own, and kick my pulse back in rhythm is definitely important.<\/p>\n<p>I think with the healing in reality and my subconscious has done one thing&#8230; kicked me back to my smiling, optimistic, and courageous self. I have spent 3 years kicking myself and downing myself, it&#8217;s time to say &#8220;I am a great guy!&#8221; and embrace it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, the last few days have been rather odd and erratic.
