Dreams

I had a dream last night in which I went to sleep. This was odd. It was not the main part of the dream - there was a barbecue party going on at the pseudo-Junction* and in the early stages I got tired and went upstairs to take a nap. And I _remember_ falling asleep, in the dream. Also the rest of the dream, which largely involved a quest for pineapple, so I could slice it into chunks and lightly caramelize it, as my contribution to the party.

*I have a fairly consistent alternate dream landscape, with various places consistently showing up: alternate-Yale, for instance, a carnival/waterslide park which shows up periodically, and a few other places. Oddly, I now also apparently have an alternate-Junction. It is similar to the Junction, but with much nicer weather, and a big backyard, and much roomier 2nd and 3rd floors. I appear to sleep in the attic when I am there. Also, the kitchen is yellow and green.

And my dread headache has returned. This sucks. Off to lunch, blood-donation, strike-voting, picking up keys for the lecture tonight, picking up slide carousels and toting them around for the lecture tonight, class, dinner, lecture, and finally home.

Ooo, nested dreams. Those are weird. Did you wake up from the nap in the dream?

And I think a quest for pineapple is worthy. It's yummy, and it will match the yellow of the alternate kitchen :)

And *hugs* on the headache! I hope it gets better soon...

Hope your headache goes away ASAP! *hugs*

You're lucky that your dreamscape is pretty consistent--mine is a mess of geographies, and every time I'm there, it all seems barely familiar, all deja vu-y.

I had a dream in which I woke up, went down to the kitchen and started talking to my mom. That sequence turned out to be a dream-within-a dream, so (still in the dream) I woke up, went down and started talking to my mom. This chain of events went on for about six iterations until I really did wake up. I turned on my lamp and just lay in bed literally pinching myself to determine if I was finally in reality. I was more freaked out by it than by any monster in the closet nightmare I have ever had.

Crazy dreams are at least entertaining.

I hope your headache gets better.
