Okay so I got this book a little before Christmas and have been reading it since. It's a Stephen King novel called IT. I have read it probably three times before, and it's a GREAT book, even though it's over 1000 pages long.


Anyway, let me explain something. The first few times I read it I was young and prone to skim and skip chapters to get to the good stuff. This time I decided no matter HOW BORING and LONG King's descriptions got I would read the WHOLE thing and NOT SKIM. It's an even more wonderful book when you do that, but I'm starting to have problems.


THe problem is this, I've been having nightmares because of it. (LoL No pun intended) this is the first time that a King book has given me nightmares. I read Pet Sematary last year and I was totally cool (I was reading it for probably the 6th time LoL I like to reread books I know I'm weird) I also read Thinner last year and that also did not give me nightmares.


I'm just wondering, is it normal for something that previously DIDN'T give you nightmares, to start giving them to you? I mean they are stupid nightmares, about clowns (Which I hate anyway but only Stephen King could turn a clown into something that gives me nightmares) but I've never had this problem before! Am I getting weak? Is my brain changing? I don't want scary stuff to scare me....well scratch that, I want scary stuff to scare me, but not to the point where I think there is a clown in my closet. I don't want to stop reading because I'm almost finished with it....anyone have any suggestions?
