I have a vivid imagination - usually I take this as an advantage but for those of us who do you'll know that it does mean that you can ave particularly nasty nightmares, last nigt was one such example.
I dreamt that I had 3 thick stemmed plants growing out of my left leg around my ankle, they extended to a length of about 10 cm and ended in something like a big ugly dandelion flower. Understandably horrified I tore one out and was rewarded with about 20 cm of roots which I had felt dragging through the veins and arteries in my leg as it came out, I remember screaming all the time and then I woke up.
In the cold light of day it's obvious what's going on, I'm still trying to get my head around the metal implants in my leg (the number of plants relates closely to the pins and screws) which hold my leg together. I know that's true actually because in my conscious mind I've been struggling a bit - it's all odd, my ankle isn't the same ankle it used to be, they had to take some of the bone away and so the shape has changes and if I run my fingers over it I can feel the metal work.
Still makes me glad I hadn't ever had a boob job, I don't know how I'd have coped with the nightmares about that!
