I've always been intellectually curious. That can sometimes be a peril, particularly when I'm browsing Wikipedia. Sometimes I'll start on one page, but then I'll get sucked into the various links, and before you know it, I've got a dozen Wikipedia pages open in various tabs and I'm reading about something I never intended to read about just a few minutes ago.
My conscious mind loves new information. Like I said, I'm intellectually curious. My subconscious mind, though, my id, doesn't like having so much new stimuli stored in my head. And my id gets its revenge when I slip into sleep. That's when all the stuff I was just reading about gets mashed up into a horror show. Yes, my id gives me Wikipedia-inspired nightmares out of spite. Bad id! Bad!
If I could remember all my nightmares, I'd have enough story material for the rest of my life. And it would be the craziest, awesomest stuff, too. But I rarely remember.
