See You in Hell!
And a Nightmarish Discussion

"You have come to a place mute of all light, where the wind bellows as the sea does in a tempest. This is the realm where the lustful spend eternity. Here, sinners are blown around endlessly by the unforgiving winds of unquenchable desire as punishment for their transgressions. The infernal hurricane that never rests hurtles the spirits onward in its rapine, whirling them round, and smiting, it molests them. You have betrayed reason at the behest of your appetite for pleasure, and so here you are doomed to remain. Cleopatra and Helen of Troy are two that share in your fate."

The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Second Level of Hell!
Here is how you matched up against all the levels:

Level	Score
Purgatory (Repenting Believers)	Very Low
Level 1 - Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers)	Very Low
Level 2 (Lustful)	Extreme
Level 3 (Gluttonous)	Extreme
Level 4 (Prodigal and Avaricious)	Very High
Level 5 (Wrathful and Gloomy)	Very High
Level 6 - The City of Dis (Heretics)	Extreme
Level 7 (Violent)	Very High
Level 8- the Malebolge (Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers)	Very High
Level 9 - Cocytus (Treacherous)	Very High

Take the Dante's Divine Comedy Inferno Test

I think I was a toss up between lustful and gluttonous. The description of being blown around endlessly is interesting as it is somewhat akin to a recurring nightmare that I have. I actually haven't had the nightmare in a long time, but I went through a period after college while I was still living in DC when I hated going to sleep because every night brought the same nightmare and the same panicked awakening each morning in a cold sweat.

The nightmare still pops up now and again, but it has probably been more than six months since the last recurrence. I have struggled to try and figure out what it is that prompts the dream but have never been able to put my finger on it.

The more interesting part of the story is that I recently found out that my brother has a history of recurring nightmares that are almost identical to mine. I don't know much about how often his occur (occurred?) but they are strikingly similar in what we dream about and the being that possesses us in the dream.
