So you thought my last dream was weird?
It started in this high school-ish setting. Linda, a rather chubby girl with a sweet face, is walking through the hallway (my perspective is hers, sort of). She's not blind, but she walks with a cane because she thinks she needs to know what it feels like to be blind... or something. Everyone at school thinks she's ugly and weird; she's not very popular. There's this one girl in particular, S (don't remember the rest of her name), who is always leading the teasing. Linda has very bad self-esteem as a result. But there's one guy, M, who always defends her. Linda doesn't understand why. Anyway, eventually Linda and M "fall in love"/start dating. S is furiously jealous.
Cut to a scene at home. Linda is cleaning, going through her stuffed animals, she comes across a strange one, a rather ugly, misshapen teddy bear. As soon as she touches it, it springs to life and attacks her. They wrestle around for a while, and she finally manages to pin back its arms, but it keeps talking - saying cruel, vulgar things, laughing maniacally. Linda seizes a kitchen knife and starts hacking away at the bear. The knife isn't very sharp, and it takes long, painful sawing motions to do damage. During all that time the bear continues to verbally abuse her. It's laughing at her efforts, telling her the knife won't help her. Nonetheless she tries.
First his ears, then his head. His arms, his feet. His shoulders.
In my mind's eye, Linda's always sawing toward herself. There's an ever-present fear that she's going to start hacking away at herself. At some point she does carve through her knuckle, but she doesn't stop sawing at the bear...
The bear is calling her fat and disgusting; she hacks away at its butt.
He yells that he's going to rape her, so she stabs and carves up his groin (but he seems to enjoy that).
He tells Linda that S made a deal with him, that he helped disguise S as Linda, and now S is pregnant with M's child. Linda is devastated and bawling.
She's ripping the stuffing from the bear.
The bear is still laughing,
headless.
I wake up.
