I have this recurring nightmare (not very often) where I can't shut off an appliance like the television. It stays on even if I turn it off or pull the plug. I feel terrified.

This sort of just happened in real life. Something happened to the on/off button on my Pocket PC and I can't shut it off. It's not scary at all because really, what would be scary about it?

Isn't it odd the way emotions work ìn dreams? I suppose the dream is all symbolic.
