nasty, scary dreams last night. they're all rather vague now, but in one of them, i was swimming around a river and the time period was defined by a mish-mash of medieval and early american imagery. there were all of these boats floating by that were covered with bodies of victims of some war. my swimming was being controlled by a ghost, who kept shouting to ask nobody in particular if someone wanted to eat these bodies. the only other bit i remember is that i kept running into sticks in the water, and that at one point i looked down at my leg and it was completely covered with leeches.
