Very bad dream (cw guns, mass shootings, death, alcohol) 

I just woke up from a dream. A very long one where I was at a furry con of some sort. I was trying to buy Grace a thing from a vendor which was mermaid themed. But they had the wrong stuff. They went to get it and then by the entrance someone came in with a gun and started shooting and I got hit. Last thoughts were “No, please” then black and then I woke up.

I heard the shooter’s name as en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anders_B

I wish there was someone in bed with me to help calm me down after that since now I'm super on edge.

I rarely remember my dreams but last night I went to a party with coworkers and had a couple of drinks. And then I have this. This is enough to have me totally swear off alcohol.

I wish I had someone close to me in my bed right now to hug me and tell me that I'm going to be okay.

A couple more months until I have a house and that will be the case. It can't come sooner.

For those who are avoiding the thread due to the CWs, in short, I need hugs and something telling me everything is going to be okay.

@xurnami *offers more hugs even* It's okay, you'll be alright. <3 It was just a dream, you're among friends on here

@xurnami *hugs lots* I know that feeling. I'm sorry things are so hard right now. We're here for you.

@xurnami
I hope you feel better by now, at least. Sending you support, whatever hugs you're ok with receiving from me. Wishing you the best and sorry you had to deal with such a nightmare. :(

@xurnami *offers hugs* Dreams like that are the worst things...

@xurnami things are going to be okay. That’s day residue from terrible stuff, which is bad, but it doesn’t necessarily mean anything more personal than how things are really upsetting these days.

@xurnami, I'm sorry. That sounds like an awful, vivid nightmare. I know there's a lot of stuff on the news lately, but statically, those incidents are still rare. Especially out of school. :(
