You'll be Sorry you Knew that Dreams Come True

[steepholm]

I've been having very vivid dreams recently, and while nothing could be more boring to relate to others, last night's was unsettling enough and I woke from it suddenly enough for me to want to record the end of it. The earlier parts involved missing children, dark woods and severed limbs, so let's not go there, but it ended far more spookily, with a chorus of ghostly infants singing me this eldritch music. I don't recognize the tune, but could well have dredged it up from somewhere - any ideas? I've always disliked 3/4 time for some reason, and I think my id knows this and chose to twit me with it. As for the lyrics, all I remember is the penultimate line: "And you'll be sorry you knew that dreams come true."

And with that I started awake.

With imaginary drawing skills, I'd be great!

But yes, I know what you mean about the visual not being the strongest element of these things. The emotional content can't be conveyed straightforwardly at all, though - I think you'd need to change other things in order to get it across in a narrative. Words can't take the same shortcuts that dreams and memories can.
