Dream journal 16 Nov
hoooo boy. This one was unpleasant.
In the beginning, i was assigned to Barack Obama's cabinet or work team or something! That was awesome! I didn't have a lot of contact with The Man, but i think i was maybe a personal assistant to Michelle Obama? Helping her with her lawyerly duties, but also having some sort of liason duties with Mr President, and also interacting with the children now and then.
We spent some time travelling, on foot bizarrely enough. At one point we were crossing a very high suspension bridge, which gave a great vista view of some city, but also left us open to attack. No one actually attacked, but the Secret Service dudes were very stressed.
At this point, the dream shifted into some sort of scenario resembling the Farscape trio of episodes: A Kiss for the Princess (or whatever it was called): The entire family and much of their staff was being frozen in stasis, to return later and finish their duties. However, it turns out the stasis was something of a ruse, because we all got total body morphs and were able to live our lives as other people in the interim, instead of being frozen for decades. (The body morph thing just happened in the Jack Chalker book i'm reading. If you read him, you know he LOVES that device.)
Well, somehow, my morph went wrong, and there was an issue with one of my teeth - my left center incisor to be exact. It had a hole in it, which was causing bleeding and pain. So i went back to the morph doctors to get it fixed, and first they tried the application of some old school poultice made of a type of African grass. That caused the blood to turn sort of green, and the poultice fell out.
This is the yucky part - Michelle Obama and i watched in horror as maggots came out of my tooth, and eventually out of my sinuses.
EWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
I woke up during the "extraction" process so i have no idea if the problem was fixable. If i didn't have such a busy day, i'd do the whole dream dictionary thing and see what maggots, president-elects, lawyers, bridges, and Secret Service represent. I do seem to recall that teeth represent power or strenght, so perhaps i feel like my inner strength is compromised and rotten?
Blech. My mouth tastes yucky all of a sudden.
