The Inside of my Brain
Yeah it's been a few days mostly because I'm racing around like a headless chicken at work. Spring break starts next friday so...and then I mis-keyed the test and had to hand correct 50 of them. Oh well. I had students yelling at me for bringing down their g.p.a. My response was, no, it's not ME at fault here.
Stress dreams galore this week.
Dream 1) I was in some kind of strange arts & crafts community and the only fragments of this dream I can remember are two bits, one was I given two D&D-like dice but they were big and made of ceramic. One was shaped like a Bethlehem star and I broke one of the points. I said 'no problem, I know what store I can get this from and I'll buy a new one.' The person who gave me the dice shot me an evil look and said we sell them here at MY store and after that it morphed into part two. Mom was there but she was just watching passively while one of the doctors from work (whom I like and don't have any conflicts with...) started ramming needles into my gums and into the bone and got them stuck. I could feel her trying to pull them out right before they started filing down my teeth without novacaine AND tried to pull out the metal bars that were into my skull for a H.A.L.O support ring andI could feel the metal leaving the bone.
Dream 2) the only fragment I remember of this is I'm in the backseat of the car. My brother and his wife are in the front. My sister in law is driving. They're both yelling at me to hurry up and get dressed (don't even ask why I would be naked in their car). I couldn't get my shirt over my head and I was having trouble breathing. I woke up then to find I had knotted the sheets around my own neck and was having trouble breathing.
Dream 3) this morning I was dreaming I was in this enormous old house, an ugly place like it had been a hotel or boarding house in the 30's then all the walls had been knocked down to open it up in the 50=60's and nothing had been changed since including the furniture. Mildew and mold were everywhere and the place didn't fit me or my roommates. I was the one who was sort of in charge of the house and my roommates were a gay couple (well one was bi) and all three of us looked like we'd stepped off Amano's sketch pad (yeah prehaps COM's read a tiny bit too much manga lately)
The couple were throwing a party and the younger of the pair was yelling at me that I wasn't being helpful.I said I didn't feel well because my arms hurt and I was going to go get a shower. That's when I caught a look at myself in the mirror (and I looked like I was back in junior high when I only weighed 95 pounds at 5'8") I saw this angry red pimple on my elbow and thought okay this is why it hurts. I start examining the arm and there's more of them and then I see that both elbows and forearms are raw and oozing like the base of a blister. I go to show it to my younger roommate and ask him to drive me to the hospital and he says he can't drive but he's not even willing to help me bandage myself up. I go find the older roommate and he's in the shower. He comes out and even though he seems my arms are a mess he starts this flirty give and take with me at which point his lover sees us, gets pissy and I wake up.
I think I'm more ready for spring break than my students!
