I just remembered my dream.
No wonder I blocked it out.

Isn't it? That's why it disturbes you so much.

He wasn't Ed but he wasn't really real either.

Occasionally irritated by an itch on her cheek. She scratched it a bit, but didn't let it distract her, until after a good scratch she felt something tear.
It was just a little flap of skin, didn't hurt, but really her face shouldn't be tearing, should it? She couldn't stop touching it, and like a tatty bit of selotape on a mysteriously shaped Christmas present, it began to curl and pull, getting a little larger as she continued to scratch at it. The rest of her dream was forgotten, this one flap of skin dominated everything. It was just so itchy, and although scratching made it feel better, the flap kept getting bigger and bigger.
So she started to pull at it, her stomach turning as she felt a very odd sensation as she slowly tore this section of skin away from her face. It was odd, but liberating. She felt warmer underneath this skin, and the more she tugged, the more it felt like she was trapped under a layer of something alien, something not her. Before she knew it, she'd removed a good section of her face, feeling the occasional flap of loose 'skin' over her mouth and eyes.
She needed to know what was happening to her, but feared looking into the mirror. She steadied herself, although her fingers kept picking at the shredded skin, and headed into her bathroom.
It was there that she saw what she dreaded.
Under what was left of what she thought was her skin, was something else. Something very much alive. Thankfully something human, she thought at least, because she could see in some places clothes under the skin she was peeling back.
The itching had got worse, her scratching more panicked, and soon she was fully ripping off her skin in random patches. Her hair as well, she pulled away in clumps, because it didn't feel like her hair any more. There was no pain, only this incessant itching, which seemed to wane as she flayed herself.
Finally the itching stopped, and, breathless but thankful, she opened her eyes to see someone new staring back at her in the mirror. Someone she at first didn't recognise, but someone that felt truer to her than anything else imaginable. Someone older, wiser, distinguished in their military uniform, a number of rings on their ring finger...

Or did you just see a massive wall of text and shoot for a 3 word insult?

She said it was a horrible dream. If she'd said it was nice I would

when the aliens would peel off their human skin and the snack on a live rat or two.

Although I haven't seen much about it since seeing a trailer a year or so ago.

it was ok, wasn't great. I keep meaning to watch more but I'm on with 24 s2, America Dad s5 and Weeds s5 at the moment.
It's got the fit whore from Firefly in it though

I might have to watch it then, although I'm trying to get back into Lost (S4) and True Blood (mostly through S1).

Stopped watching it when I broke up with the ex, but would like to finish it off.

No one has ever recommended it to me without also cursing it.

Is that what you wanted to hear? Would it be less weird if I said I got it off a site?
