• Dreams

  Nothing really to say and I don’t feel like writing… I’ll relate this dream instead.
  
  Let me just say that I like prunes. I’m not one of those people who resorts to prunes only when they are constipated. If not for their unfortunate gastrointestinal effects, I’d eat them a lot more often. So… my dream.
  
  I dreamed I had a bag of prunes at work. For some reason my boss took my bag of prunes, opened them up, and dumped them in a bin with dried apricots (which I do not like). There were a lot more prunes that my one little bag would have held, and a lot more prunes than apricots. Apparently she wanted the customers to buy them, but I just wanted my prunes back. My feeling of incredulity at what my boss had done was very similar to how I generally feel at work any more. In my dream I had a headache (and also when I woke up) and since the prunes had now been exposed to the air, I expected they would be hard and maybe the chewing of them would help my headache, but they were soft. Softer they would have been even in the bag. It was was like biting into a piece of butter. There was no taste and very little sensation of anything in my mouth. I did not like it, not the texture and not the lack of taste. I was pretty upset by the whole dream and I woke up at 3:30 in the morning and couldn’t fall back to sleep until it was almost time to get up for work anyway.
  
  My interpretation has to do with the ____ that as of late we have been forced to ply to the customers against our wills due to certain quotas I alluded to yesterday. (fill in the blank… it has to do with what people eat prunes to do)
  
  I had another dream a couple days ago about snakes. They’re one of my spirit animals. There were snakes everywhere, in boxes, on the ground underfoot. People were upset about the snakes. All of them were poisonous. I was not very frightened, as I knew how to handle them. I picked up a cobra by the base of its head (yeah, not the way you should handle a cobra, but this was a dream lol). These long “tongues” came out and wrapped themselves around my hand and arm. Apparently the cobra objected to being removed for the safety of others. The “tongues” were sticky-tacky as if covered in burs and came off my skin grudgingly like Velcro.  I was not poisoned by the tongues, though I thought it was possible that they were poisonous.
  
  My interpretation… I need to be heard, but my words are attached to me and will follow me wherever I go.

  Probably means I should be more careful what I say/write….

  The Mayan New Year was celebrated today. Each day, year, decade, century, and millennium had its own god. The Mayan solar calendar possessed 365 days, and they also possessed a sacred calendar of 260 days for determining which deity was in charge. Every fifty-second solar New Year was dangerous because the gods might leave their duties and time would stop.
