You’re so Veins

I have a friend named Veins.  He’s famous for his massive, veiny penis.  Gross, right?  Anyway, I had a dream about Veins last night.  Don’t worry, I’m not going to bore you with the trippy details of my dream.  I hate when people do that.  The point of this story is that this was a recurring dream I have where people are turning into zombies a-la 28 Days Later.  I guess it would be more accurate to call it a nightmare.  It’s always me and one other person trying to escape.  This time that person was Veins, who I haven’t seen in probably 2 years.  Weird how the brain does that, huh?

Anyway, I mentioned in passing the other day that I have this recurring nightmare and my buddy laughed at me and told me he hasn’t had a nightmare in 10 years.  And that got me wondering: am I the only one still having nightmares?  I don’t have them often, maybe once every couple weeks.  Always about being chased, usually by zombies of one kind or another.  Occassionally I’ll have some sort of undersea nightmare where gross creatures are chasing me.  They’re usually fairly scary, actually.  Are nightmares something you’re supposed to grow out of?  Is there something wrong upstairs that I’m still having them?  Or maybe its just a product of my constant nerdy ponderings.  Although if that were the case it would probably be orcs chasing me, not zombies.  God knows I’d love the chance to slay a few orcs, if only in dream mode.
