I can remember the burning sensation of the yellow and black snakes slithering in and out of my skin. Their ugly heads would slide out of my arms and legs and give me a menacing glance before plunging back into my flesh with a sting. I was slave to these seething serpants, I had to do whatever they commanded me or they threatened to bite me and send me into horrible, gut-wrenching pain.
This hell was the world of Zoroastrocism (in my dream, not in reality). That was at least what I believed. I remember a specific day in high school. When the demon snakes told me to park along the curb, but then refused to let me get out of the car. I was imprisoned in my own car as they burned in and out of my arms. Every time I tried to move they would pop out and threaten me and I would resign. After a time, a voice echoed in my head, a voice full of authority and compassion, the voice of God. The voice told me to open the door and not listen to the snakes, they would not harm me. I hesitated, I was full of fear - fear that the snakes that possessed me would punish me. But the voice echoed again, "Do not listen to them, open the door."
With immense effort I gritted my teeth and pushed open the door. Nothing happened. I jumped out and stood up – and behold, the burning in my arms was gone. I had conquered my demons! They had never even had any power over me. I wanted to go around to all Zoroastrocists and tell them, “Don’t listen to the snakes, they won’t bite you – in fact they are not even real.”
In my victory, another scene flashed in my mind and I was shown my alternative. What would have happened if I listened to the demons burning through my flesh. A bloodied and smashed corpse pressed against the ground with only one body part still intact, the left lens of my eye. Before my life expired, I heard the voice of God telling me, “There never were any snakes, and they had no power over you. Everything you did was your choice to obey the demons and disobey Me.” I cringed because I knew that this would have been my fate if I had obeyed the snakes in my flesh.

I had a crazy dream yesterday. This bald man was hanging on to me and would not let go. He had his arms and legs around me and he was laughing at me. So I started punching him and smashing his head on the corners of walls. I then decided to jump into the swimming pool and try to drown him, but he could hold his breath longer than me. So I tried to smash him on the bottom. He never came off.

That's insane, man! I think you need to post the one about Felix :)
