Dreams of Dogs, Donuts, and the cast of High School Musical
Scene:
Interior, Stacey's Brain, sometime between the hours of 1 and 3 a.m. when the baby was actually sleeping instead of coughing his wee brains out and keeping the entire house awake worrying about the fragile state of his health:
Dream Stacey and the cast of High School Musical along with the actress who plays Ugly Betty*--sans thick glasses--are trying to work their way through a huge maze made of scraps of ripped up cardboard**
They have just approached an especially tricksy stretch of maze when a huge pack of tiny yippy dogs*** swarms their feet, barking and nipping and generally being as completely terrifying as small, yippy dogs usually are.
Dream Stacey, being as scared as she should be, scales a really tall guy with a bald head who resembles the lead singer of REM****. Bald dude was very annoyed to have Dream Stacey wrapped around his shoulders like some kind of living mink stole and so shoves her on top of his van, begrudgingly offering her safety from the jagged teeth of the terriers below*****
His van turns out to be a donut delivery van with a transparent roof******. Dream Stacey curls up on the transparent roof, gazing down at the sprinkle-covered pink and white and chocolate donuts and is strangely comforted*******. She feels safe and decides to take a nap.
End scene.
* I haven't watched HSM or Ugly Betty in years. Why were they in my brain? Why?!
**Think this may be my dream-mind's way of stressing out about the fact that my house is filled with moving boxes that need to be packed. Or my dream-mind's way of stressing out that we may all end up living in cardboard boxes because our real estate agents keep encouraging us not to sign a lease until our sale is final, but we may not be able to find an apartment in the two days we have to move once the sale is final, and OMG for the love of sheep!, please just quit stressing me out like this, agents and real estate market in general. You are to be giving me a nervous break-down.
***OMG, dogs. I'm so scared of dogs, especially small ones. I know it's shameful, but it's a phobia. They know no shame or reason. Also, I was bitten by a boyfriend's yippy dog once and it was crazy painful and got infected and almost left a scar. Later, that boyfriend turned out to be insane and thought the devil gave him street directions when he was lost. So there. Yippy dogs=biting + scary/crazy boyfriends.
**** He suddenly made an appearance in the dream, hopefully to teach the cast of High School Musical how to sing.
*****The men in my dreams are never heroic. They are always vaguely irritated by my presence. This may be a sign that my inner masculine is embarrassed that his outer feminine is afraid of dogs.
******WTH??
*******Because donuts=safety from dogs. Duh.
Anyone want to take a crack at a more in-depth psycho-analysis?

(Who needs a nap...and probably a couple donuts.)
