Weird dreams last night. I’m not really reassembling them very well. After such an awesome, but exhausting pile of days, I’m about due a “weekend” and I was really hoping I’d sleep last night. Alas, exhaustion didn’t see me off and eventually once I DID fall asleep it was to strange imagery and intense tactile strangeness.
I dreamt I was working at a computer – and in hindsight it might’ve been my mom’s computer, with the way I was kind of ensconced in STUFF. I also had a cat at each elbow and a woman sitting to my left… at least I THOUGHT they were cats.
The one to my right kept rubbing at my elbow and was kinda scratchy against my skin. I went to pet it properly and realized it had horrible, crusted-over eyes. I went to help the cat rub it off when it reached out and started doing it itself with, not paws, but horrible fleshy little baby-hand human finger nubs.
That was kind of alarming.
And that was when the other “cat” hissed at me.
I turned to the cat at my LEFT elbow and it was a triangle shaped face that quickly resolved into a possum’s head on a hunched owl’s body. It kept on hissing, spread it’s wings and stomped it’s feet and hissed and hissed till I woke up.
