Bleeding Eyes and Battlestars (minimal spoiler)
I've been having some rather vivid dreams recently, though last night's was by far the most memorable ... if only for the way it ended. There were a number of components to the dream that I can identify from things I've done or seen recently but the finale involved me pulling some thick, greenish1 gunk from beneath my left eye2 and being rewarded by a flood of blood ... which just wouldn't stop. Any attempt I made to staunch the flow of blood was rewarded by a completely sodden handkerchief. I suspect that I may have woken myself up (for the first time in a long while) with my cries for help. Very strange indeed, though on waking I didn't feel overly disturbed or afraid ... just a bit freaked out.
In other news, Battlestar Galactica was fantastic. For the most part the episode was a reminder of what had gone before but featured a lot of Col. Tigh (which made me very happy) and a fantastic twist ("... and your prophet ..." !!!). I am very much looking forward to the rest of the series, though I'm not a fan of the recent trend (cf. Lost) of "youthening" middle-aged actors and, interesting though that segment was, I hope they don't return to it too often.
1 Yes, I dream in colour.
2 I was looking in a bathroom mirror.
