Celebrity Dreams & Narcolepsy
Lots of celebs in my dreams last night, so I figured a good opportunity to write about them here.
In the first dream, I was in a restaurant with booths and tables. I was sitting at one table and decided to get up and go to a booth a few spots away. I sat down on the inside corner, across from Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and diagonal from Benedict Cumberbatch. Then another man (an actor I know, but I can't remember who) sat down next to me to complete the table of four. Chris and Bennie (he told me to call him that lol) were kind of astonished that I just randomly sat down with them, but we had a jovial conversation. I just wish I could remember any of it lol
The longer dream came next. I dreamed I was at work, but a different building from where I am now. It was more like the business buildings in movies, with an overhang in the front for unloading vehicles (like at a hotel). Eric was there getting ready to leave to go join the rest of the public works crew to prepare for the coming apocalypse. There were a lot of military vehicles driving around and it was looking like all-out war. I then watched a cockroach the size of a cat give birth to a live young. I herded Kaiya into the work building and down into the basement, which was designated as the fallout shelter. All of my coworkers (IRL) were there, and it was entirely concrete, like just a storage area. The public works guys kept bringing loads of office supplies from other buildings to try and save them. I realized I needed to go back up to my desk area and get some things, so I left Kaiya down in the basement and went up to the first floor where my cubicle was located. It was behind locked doors, but the walls were constructed from bookshelves and cabinets on wheels, so I found one that moved and was able to slip into the office area. I started gathering cookies and snacks, then crawled under my desk to grab two phone chargers (different connectors). When I popped back up, Danny DeVito was standing next to my desk. I jumped coz he startled me, and he started asking if there was anything he could to do help. I told him we were all in the basement waiting for everything to go away. He stood lookout while I finished gathering stuff to take downstairs, then helped me out of the office area. When I got back into the basement, there were more pallets of supplies and my mother had showed up (joy). I showed Kaiya the snacks I got and told her they were just for us when she got hungry. Then I said let's try and go to the bathroom, and we went to the only one down there. Well, there was a men's and ladies' room, and a stall plus a sink in each, so we went to the ladies' room. I had to poo, but every other woman decided to come into the bathroom at the same time, so I just said nevermind and was in the process of getting Kaiya out when I woke up.
It was pretty cool meeting those celebs...
On a related note, I finally got to speak with a sleep specialist. Based on the intake questions I answered, the nurse told me I may be a candidate for narcolepsy. I've never heard that in my life. I did an at-home sleep study to check for sleep apnea (which I knew I didn't have) back in March and it confirmed no apnea. So the results went to the specialist and they want to do a sleep study in their office (well, at the hospital) and if nothing is found, I get to stay the following day to perform daytime tests to check for narcolepsy (or just excessive daytime sleepiness). I'm interested in what they find, especially given my dream history. Wish me luck.
