Forged In Fire - Nightmare!!! - SPOILERS!

[Captain59]

I did a very dumb thing last night. Right before I went to bed, I decided to read one more chapter of Forged In Fire...and it happened to be Chapter 27 that involved the torture of the three Klingon captains. I was horrified. I had hoped it would not bring me nightmares, but damned to hell, it did. The basis of the nightmare morphed into something even more twisted and evil. When I woke up, I cursed Michael and Andy. How could they write such a chapter knowing if some fool like myself read it before he went to bed, he would have nightmares?

So Michael and Andy...thanks a lot! Even if I could, I would never return the favor. That would be just too cruel.

The most bizarre thing, however, is it was the best night's sleep I got in quite some time.

I've found that, generally, the more I dream (or the more I recall dreaming), the more rested I feel the next day. Nightmares are particularly cathartic--the more apocalyptic, the better.

Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman

I guess I'm lucky, I've never actually had a nightmare induced by something I read or watched. But that's probably more do to the fact that I try to make a point of not experiencing anything that could cause them. Which means I won't be reading chapter 27 within an hour or two of going to bed.

Is this so disturbing as it sounds?

 

[Smiley]

It is disturbing by design. If you weren't against the Albino by that point, then you will be after reading it.

As someone who appreciates good horror books, comics, and films -- and who's been known to write a few horror comics in the past -- I'm glad you had the appropriate reaction to the scene. Well, not glad you had a nightmare, but glad it elicited the proper response.

There's another scene that may do the same in Kobayashi Maru, involving... nope, can't tell you.

Writing scenes with horror are a great way to cleanse the mind given the bad things that happen in "real life."

Ok, I must be desensitized because I didn’t find the torture to be that torturous.

Maybe I'm dead inside? (pokes insides) OWW, nope not dead inside yet.

I did not find it any more horrible than whole ship crews in combat dying.

Never had a nightmare from reading something but the other night after hanging out reading the online chat thingie I had a bizzare dream where Shatner was a detective trying to solve a murder with his grandson who was played by Chris Pine. Most of the characters were from the various Trek shows and it was just odd.

The weirdest Star Trek dream I had recently was a funny adventure with Calhoun and Salem the cat from Sabrina the Teenage With (My daughter loves that series). I wish I could remember details but I remember that I slept very well that night.

Lol, sounds interesting.
