black cats and blue rats

Random Weirdnesses

My arrival in Belgrade appeared to have coincided with a heatwave, as the temperatures have been steadily above 0, and a large portion of the snow has melted.

And my near-misadventures with glass continue as before, because just now a large mirror I'm sitting next to fell with an exciting bang from its hanging on the wall, but didn't break.

Dreams

Last night I had very vivid, very weird dreams that involved me being in the hallway of my building in Belgrade, that was overrun with blue rats and black cats in red jumpers that were chasing after them trying to kill them.

And then the chief amongst these cats kept trying to follow me, and get me to follow it, but I was somewhat off-put by the half-of-blue-rat hanging from its mouth so I kept trying to escape from the cat, and as such walked right into the danger the cat had been trying to warn me about (a lift containing a man who wanted to hurt me and kill me).

But I fought him off and fled into my house, and the black cat with red jumper kept a watch outside the door.

I've noticed a change in the way I handle my fear dreams- no longer do I run around in mindless panic as I once used to, now even though I am still very scared I try to engage the source of my danger much more and confront it, fight for my life, and I'm deeply pleased by this shifting in my psyche.

And upon waking I discovered that I'd slept face down on a blue pillow and had subsequently managed to dye half of my face a scrub-resistant version of the same colour.
Well, I suppose it's just as well that I like turquoise.
