shot and killed

TankHughes commented on the word shot and killed

One time in high school, my friend Resham fell asleep while taking notes in class. Her pen continued to move for a while. After class, we attempted to decipher her unconscious notes.

We figured out that "?!+k" meant shot and killed. I enjoy using the term ?!+k in my own shorthand. It's aesthetically pleasing, but it's hard to spread awareness of it because it involves introducing people to the concept of unconscious note-taking.

Late one night at home i was writing down ideas for a thing about postcolonialism or something like that and fell asleep. i woke up in the wee hours and the last paragraph i'd written unmistakably narrated a dream sequence, in some version of my handwriting, shaky but legible. Something about the Minotaur and my brother and a cargo ship full of hay bales? don't remember. i couldn't remember any part of the actual experience, but it was observed on some level obviously. i think i still have the page somewhere. strange

Sometimes I can tell when I'm dreaming because I try to read something and the words are indecipherable. The other night I dreamed that I really needed to read an important text message, so the sender resorted to using a flower bed in a garden. The message was "white snake root will do if the ageratum in the border hasn't filled in yet."
