Darkly Dreaming Dexter

I had my first Dexter nightmare last night. It really was frightening.

My husband and I love the show, which airs on Showtime on Sundays at 9pm, but this past Sunday he was watching the Patriots getting beat by the Colts. Instead we DVR’d Dexter and watched it last night, so it was fresh on my mind. I also caught up on House, which would explain Hugh Laurie’s cameo in my dream.

To make a long dream short, the Trinity Killer was putting us all in a room to kill us. He had people in my personal life, which made it all the more frightening. He was going to chop us all up like Dexter does to his victims. He did something especially macabre to House, though. Trinity brought him and Chase (also from House) in the back of a pickup truck. Chase was on a stretcher, knocked out with anesthesia, and House looked scared shitless. Like he knew his witty remarks and wiseass attitude would not get him out of this one.

There was more. Something about Dexter going around in the South Florida area and the Everglades trying to find us all, and making sure of talking to people so they would remember him in case the police was tracking us down (he just needed a head start). Also, his wife (who, in my dream, was played by the actress who plays Bella’s mother in Twilight, the movie) asked Trinity to chop off her forearm, so Dexter would see it and freak out, and understand that what he does is wrong.

Anyways, I was shaken up and woke up before my alarm rang. Scary stuff.
