The other night I had a dream/nightmare. It was really freaky almost too real while it was happening. Ok, it's weird, so
It was set in South America. I have no idea of the country. I was in a prison and in the process of my execution. I was tried with another person that was executed the night before by hanging. I was thinking in my dream and wondering why we both did not get executed on the same day at the same time like in In cold Blood, and it really struck me as something very unusual at the time. Anyway I was in my damp, dark, earth toned cell and for some reason had some kind of granola bars that a friend gave me and I kept reading the pink wrapper over and over, maybe because it was in English, don't know? So I was waiting for my last meal. It was pizza. I have no idea why my last meal would be pizza. That would be far from the top of my list. Anyway as it turned out, in my dream, the pizza delivery guy never showed up. Consequently, I was not executed. But I woke up feeling like I had just gotten away with or escaped something huge.
I looked up what my dream meant and found these thoughts:
To see an execution in your dream suggests that you will suffer some misfortune from the carelessness of others. To dream that you miraculously escape your own execution means you will overcome your enemies and succeed in gaining wealth.
To see or be aware of an execution in your dream suggests that the success of some current undertaking is doubtful and if achieved will take more money, effort, and/or time (whichever applies) than you anticipated. To be condemned to execution signifies good news concerning a health problem. To dream of an execution forecasts some disturbing news of a friend or associate.
I also had a really great weekend. I had a list of a few things in my head that I wanted get done and did none of them. i wanted to get a hair cut, massage and finish writing Christmas cards. Instead I finished grading all of my students' final presentations from last week, filled out over half of my PC app, wrote an essay, that Brian proof read for me, damn commas, sent some emails to folks requesting that they say nice things about me, I feel really good about this, I chose, Yonas and Dr. Salmon. I hope they reply soon. I went to Dave and Tyler's place to watch A Christmas Story, it was funny, as always. I love the crazy dogs with the turkey, and that lamp, what were they thinking? I have decided that nobody is getting a Christmas card from me this year. Time is too short these days with final presentations and it's Christmas week already. Jeez! Sorry if anyone was expecting one. You can stop now. I have decided to send out Chinese New Year cards instead. Hey, why not? So you can expect those soon. Christmas gifts have already been sent to the states via Melissa. Just to let anyone know who does not already; the official celebration of the Chinese New Year is the first or second week of February. And, oh yes, most efficiently I cleaned my entire apartment and did two loads of laundry. Have plans for a much needed massage tomorrow and I am keeping them. Last night it was so windy I could hear bikes falling while I was trying to go to sleep. This morning on my way to class on my bike I had the wicked witch song in my head, you know when the house is spinning and the witch lady is on her bike next to the house. I tried to explain my experience with wind and the tune in my head while on my bike this morning, but not one of my students had seen The Wizard of Oz. Amazing. Tomorrow is the first day of winter. There was water frozen on the street today, but no snow, maybe soon.
