It is 7:45 on Saturday morning, and I can’t get the taste of blood out of my mouth.\u00c2\u00a0 I had awful dreams last night, including a kid who had his classmates pee all over him, then set himself on fire (and died) all for a youtube video, my girlfriend calmly explaining that she had been sleeping with a 17 year old (but she had realized he wasn’t the one for her), and having to sit through an awful experimental noise music performance, and then blood.\u00c2\u00a0 Dreaming of blood.\u00c2\u00a0 Dreaming of drowning in blood.<\/p>\n
I think that part of your brain that thinks “wait! this might be real!” kicked in.\u00c2\u00a0 It is the same one that kicks in when you are having a dream about peeing.\u00c2\u00a0 It kicked in, and i woke up coughing up blood.\u00c2\u00a0 It was dark in the room, but i could tell the darkness of the blood against the white tissue I rubbed against my mouth.<\/p>\n
I have been having lesions in my nose for a couple of weeks.\u00c2\u00a0 They don’t heal, but they produce these hard angular scab crusts, which often dissolve when I neti.\u00c2\u00a0 It is raw and painful.\u00c2\u00a0 Hard to breath at times.\u00c2\u00a0 And quite noisy.<\/p>\n
I spat out a lot of the blood into tissues, and held my nose where the blood was coming from.\u00c2\u00a0 The jagged scabs made it quite painful.\u00c2\u00a0 I filled five tissues with coughed up blood.\u00c2\u00a0 I ate cereal. And I still have the taste in my mouth.\u00c2\u00a0 I wonder how long I was bleeding before I woke up?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
