This is just a dream, this isn't real.*

[bending_sickle]

Today was mainly made of fail, and not in the made_of_fail_pc awesome way either. *sigh* I tried to update my CV but was too chicken to make much headway.

Instead, freaky dreams! And dreams for which I'll forgive my subconscious anything.

Dream 1: Having traveled somewhere, I'm lying in bed cuddling and being cuddled by David Tennant in the most comfortable, loving, relaxed way ever. [Subconscious, you win and I love you. Please to be sending more.]

Dream 2: In our first house in Costa Rica (single story, backyard facing a wall, wooden floors), I'm very angry and upset at mom and dad, crying hard and trying to get away from them [Related to being in Rome and not having my own space in the house save the empty living room?] Whilst eating, my brother gives this awful offhand comment about me and I run out in a crying rage, hurt to the core and utterly betrayed. [My brother's been a bit of a selfish ass these past few years and hurts me badly by either not caring or not knowing when to lie. "I read two pages of your Nano and didn't like it at all," for example, is one of those times.]

I escape into the garden, which is now wide and open to the other houses, and shifts from Tropical Rainforest Green to Dry Savannahh Brown. Even in our garden there is no place for me to hide, because it is open to the neighbours, which means that groups of small Kenyan children stare at me, no matter where I go. [Which they did when I went with Willy on her anthropological research in Kenya, and which I never got used to because Shy Sickle is Shy and having people in groups stare at you is Bad for shy people.]

I go to a dirt crossroad where I see a man with a cart and donkey, except the donkey crouches on the ground and he rolls the cart up over the donkey, ending up with the cart before the horse donkey in what feels like a very common trick he asks the beast to do.

Dream 3: In a small, wooden room, I'm with Eric (of True Blood), who has taken claim to me. At first I'm unwilling of going along with this. Sookie and Bill (ibid) are also in the room, and they don't seem to be comfortable with Eric's choice, either. Sitting with me perched on the armrest, he doubles over and starts kissing then drinking from my calf, which is first a very slippery then very painful sensation mixed in with pleasure. Later, Eric is meeting with a Head Boss from some neighboring place, and has me with him for show or as an afterthought. I'm frightened but stay, and reach out to touch Eric's back for support, or maybe to offer support, because there's no one else.

[I admit to listening to Sookie Stackhouse audiobooks like crazy. This is, however, my second Eric dream - in the first, I save him from mass-production vampire-draining and drag him to a bathroom mall where I try to get him to feed. What struck me as I was typing this up, though, is that the last part - especially the wording I chose upon jotting it down - reminds me a bit of my feelings regarding Ye Romance I had in Kenya. The fact of the matter is, if I hadn't had R with me, I don't know what would've happened to me during the Vacation Time set after our research. I sometimes fear that that fear - lone white female touristing the popular coast - put me in a Rock-and-a-Hard-Place position. Looking at it coldly and from a slightly psychotic point of view, I sometimes wonder if it wasn't rather whorish.]
