Tell you 'bout a dream that I have every night. . .

I have been suffering through a miserable head cold for a few days now. Along with the usual stuffed-up head and get surface headaches. Those sudden flashes of pain at random spots on your head. It's nothing new, I usually get this once a year. But there is one very odd, very specific thing that comes with my terrible head colds.

A nightmare.

Essentially, I've downloaded some game content for an RPG, and rather than getting what I was hoping for it's an unfathomable mystery that I am compelled to figure out. There's no real fear, no being stalked, no feeling of menace, but the damn dream keeps resetting. And unlike most of my dreams, I remember every detail. Like last night, one of the files was a sound file that had been recorded outside a New York City subway station. It was about two minutes of traffic noise, and I had to identify where and when it was recorded.

I know, right?

The most annoying thing this is one of those nightmares that intrudes into the waking world. I got up to use the can and when I came back to be I swore I heard Kirsten say "Read the DCSA file first." Of course, she had her mask on, so all she had really done was grunted as she rolled over. But still.

Does anyone else get very specific dreams or nightmares linked to health conditions?
