i have this occasional reccuring dream about a murderous little baby that can't die. it's really creepy and absurd and terrifying. what's most terrifying is that i can't remember it killing anyone in my dream... but i can remember being frightened of it and the many ways in which i try to kill it: running it through a meat grinder, throwing it off roofs, shooting it in the belly a few times with a handgun and many more very graphic ways. but it never dies. ever.

my mother has a dreamers encyclopedic type reference book that supposedly tells you what your dreams mean. there is no listing for 'murderous babies' or 'homicidal babies' or 'nightmare on baby street' or 'baby T-2000' or even 'various attempts at killing a baby'. it does, however, have a listing for 'baby':

"... if the baby was ugly or in any way displeasing to you, look out for treachery in someone you are inclined to trust."

considering that these dreams have been reccuring for a few years now, i don't even know.

all i do know is that the baby is mean. really fucking mean.
