christhetoken, who told me to do it ages ago, (because, naturally, he has the copyright on this idea and anyone anywhere who's followed this advice has done so unwittingly at the will of one Token), I've started Stephen King's Dark Tower series.
I'm listening to The Gunslinger on tape in the car. So, yesterday.
Terrible, terrible dreams last night where I'm on vacation with the Gunslinger, Nort, Allie, and Rob Morrow, and I've got to keep Allie from saying "nineteen." Terrible, awful, ambienated dreams where conversations like "how many players are there on a baseball team?" or "how old were you when you got your first car?" kept coming up, and to make matters worse we were lost in the woods, and mostly Rob Morrow wasn't a vegan anymore.
Terrible dreams.
And then this morning coming in to work I got the next chapter, where Allie's already dropped the codeword (off camera!) and the Gunslinger blows her brains out.
It was way more frightening, and somehow way more satisfying, in my dream.
(I had the same experience with the remake of Planet of the Apes, by the way.)
