Scooby Dreams

This dream I had. The first thing I vividly remember is crouching under a truck in a downtown street with the Scooby-Doo humans. But there was no supernatural threat? There was a businessman who said his company was replacing two miles of fuel lines under the street or something with a safer alternative? But it wasn’t safer at all. The entire area above that stretch of land was being made incredibly toxic, but the businessman had one guy at the corner to tell everyone it was safe. And I ran in to tell people the business was clearly lying, whereupon something happened that tells me even my subconscious might not really know what the phrase “toxic shock” actually refers too. There was this whole miasma in that poisoned area, and when I ran into it, it was like running into an electric barrier or something in a video game. There was this buzz and a flash, and I collapsed to the ground. But I actually felt it. It almost felt like a seizure. When I woke, I felt physically fine, but my mind needed to be convinced nothing bad actually happened.

I did look up toxic shock though. It is not in fact being electrocuted by poisonous air or whatever. I think it’s more like getting really sick really fast from a bad infection or something. Which sounds gross and worse. So whatever. But listen. If there were a 90s supervillain named Toxic Shock, I’m pretty sure their power would be to poison you with electric blasts.
