    I've never drawn them (nightmares) on paper, I have critiqued some, I remembered, in my mind.

  • No, but on Blurtit we had a man who married his. He used to post her photograph occasionally. If he sees this he'll probably post it here. She was a nightmare indeed. :(

  • I've never drawn them but I did write one down one day in the link below. I may or may not have watched Starwars that night...

  • I can only visualize, my drawing skills are extremely limited.  It's not really my medium.

  • Dear Marguerite, the Beloved...

    Yes, I did draw a nightmare, one time...I was studying Carl Jung, and taking all this very seriously...the part about acknowledge all the stuff that is repressed into your subconscious, and you love and accept all these shadow parts of yourself, and then (in Jung theory), all that repressed energy becomes available for you to live your life!

    So one night I had a dream, and it was about an angry man. Got all excited, this GREAT opportunity to do the Jung stuff...called a Jungian counselor local to Bellingham in Washington State. Counselor says, "No you don't really need to come in for counseling, just try drawing your angry man!"

    I said, But I can't draw worth anything. Counselor says, That makes it even better, your Angry Man is More Natural.

    So I got busy, and it was great! For a long time I would pull the drawing out, just saying YES that is part of me and I am going to be okay, here...well I still do get angry, but I am typically more aware of it now and what to do about it more wholesome.

    So there you go, that is my story!
