Dream a little dream...

I had a fucked up dream last night...

I often have dreams where I draw many influences from my everyday life...I think a lot of people do this, though I don't know how many people remember their dreams, let alone the things that influenced them. Last night was no different. So...

The dream has faded a bit since this morning, but the general gist is that I was at work, and my old manager, who will be named ASS (aka Ho-Beast), was now at my current place of employment. We were there, and although the building was different, I still knew it was where I worked. There was a large window of glass at one end of the center, and through it, we saw two tornadoes, huge motherfucker cyclones too, heading straight for us. Ass was bossing everyone around, as usual, and we all just stared at the oncoming twisters, in a rather gobsmacked way. I remember thinking, "Geez, what is it that they say to do in case of a tornado, to protect yourself?" and I think many people around me, after coming back into reality, were thinking the same thing. We all instinctively began searching for desks to hide under. I found one near an outer wall, and just sort of waited. Now, I should mention, I have never been in a tornado, and I honestly don't know what I would expect to happen, or how to prepare, but in my dream, it persisted. So I huddled under my little shelter of a desk, on the outer wall, all by myself, waiting for the inevitable, in a silent call center. I vividly remember how loud the sounds were as the tornado whipped through our area...lots of wind and rain, and shattered glass. I also recall being concerned about my cell phone, which had been upstairs, and I wasn't able to retrieve it. At one point there was something to do with an airport runway, though I can't recall much about that. I think the part I recall the strongest is the point of impact. I remember covering my ears because it was so loud. I wonder if I covered my ears while I was sleeping?

Anyhow, after I woke up and thought about it, it was easy to figure out the influences. ASS was brought up last weekend when phishtails was visiting. He asked me how I was able to get out alive, and out of her malicious clutches. I had a dream recently where she *had* been hired where I work. Talk about SCARY!!! The tornado is in response to a post teajade made recently about seing a twister outside, after school, I think. It turns out that there was one near zemcats today too. The cell phone bit was because dorkbot left his cell phone in our guest bathroom, while he was changing from work gear to I-Bar gear. There might have been other influences in the dream that I did not pick up on, and there definitely was more to the dream, but this is the remains after nearly 24 hours later.

This post reminds me I should have a cool dream icon for dream posts, like catmcroy.

Well, bedtime once again kiddies. I need my beauty sleep for John Waters in less that 8 hours. Eeek!
