I had a really strange Madoka-themed dream today… It left me really tired.
I woke up to hear that there’d been a bank robbery on TV and my uncle had been killed, and even as I struggled to figure out what was going on, this magical girl came into my house and shoved needles into my stomach and killed me.
And then I woke up. Or I tried to, but I was still dreaming, and this girl was still trying to kill me, and so I ended up in these loops of struggling so hard to open my eyes and desperately trying to figure out if I was awake and trying to sense this girl’s approach before she killed me or someone I loved, which was hard because she could turn invisible.
I think I only won by eventually figuring out that I was also a magical girl, and my power was that I could make things I imagined reality, but more importantly I could disbelieve things I didn’t see.
…it was really weird.
