Review of Recurring Nightmare by Legerdemain

This dream would be scary enough were it on its own but, if it's been going on for twenty-five years, I find that a bit worrying. Does it relate to any deep-seated fears or worries, I wonder? Perhaps you don't like driving at night, or read somewhere about a large deer coming through the windscreen in collisions. Seems a bit obvious, though. Yet there must be a cause.

Anyway, it's a fine piece of descriptive writing, adjectives perhaps slightly overdone in the first paragraph. There's a certain feeling of expectation created by the mentions of looking out for the beacons at the side of the road that will indicate - what? We're not told so we begin to expect them, too, if only to find out what they mean. Even when we see them, you give no hint of what is waiting for us until it has pounced. If it were my dream, I reckon it would be a shapeless shadow, unnamed and unknowable, rather than a deer. I suppose the deer is rather more frightening in that it could really happen.

Come to think of it, your dream is uncommonly real and well defined, with none of the more usual unlikely events or sudden, inexplicable changes of surroundings. But I don't suppose that is significant.

In summary, it's a powerful description of a dream that must be quite harrowing to endure, especially repeatedly. There ought to be a way to write to the dream factory and ask for a change of program!
