brinshannaraThat would be better titled "a weird dream and random thoughts", because I'm going to start with the dream.
I fell asleep earlier tonight, unexpectedly. I thought I was just going to close my eyes for a few minutes. Well, that didn't go as planned.
I dreamt that I was in my bathroom, repairing the toilet (this has got to do with The Sims 2), and I suddenly felt very tired, like I was going to pass out. I was really dizzy and felt claustrophobic. I felt like I had a weight on my chest, and I couldn't breathe.
So, in the dream, I was like "What the hell? Why would I be fixing the toilet if I feel like this? What was I doing before?" So I remembered that I'd lay down for a bit. And then it hit me. "I must be asleep," I said to myself. Meanwhile, I felt more and more like passing out and I actually said to myself, in the dream, "Hey! You're asleep already! Wake up! You feel how your arms are against something? Focus on that!"
Very odd. But it's true, I was dozing on my back, and my arms were at my sides resting on the couch, whereas in the dream, I was kneeling in front of the toilet and my arms weren't touching anything.
I jerked myself awake, felt nauseous, scared and somewhat intrigued that I'd figured out I was dreaming. So I rolled over and fell back to sleep.
Freaky. I wish I'd thought to try some lucid dreaming, but I guess I did, in a sense, because I did manage to wake myself up. Anyways, I woke up again at something like 3am. And played The Sims 2 until 5:15am. Because I am insane like that. And I'm still not feeling all that well. The dream has totally stayed with me.
But on to random thoughts!
You know you're getting old when you're watching a late night talk show (Conan O'Brien, a rerun from last Friday) and you actually know all the guests. And not just from their latest thing that they're promoting, but from years. Seth Green, who I knew from Buffy, but was promoting "Robot Chicken", and Josh Duhamel, who was promoting "Las Vegas", but I know him from AMC.
I remember when late night talk show guests were these people I just didn't know, or were so very popular that I knew them at least a little bit, but generally from the latest thing they're doing. It's weird, weird, weird to be sitting there and going "Haha, I remember Seth as Oz" or "Hey, Josh was cute as Leo, and they could so use him back, somehow, right now. Get Greenlee away from Ryan..."
Anyways. One of my male Sims got pregnant from alien abduction and the first child in my 7th generation is an alien baby girl, whom I've named Laren, although I'm wishing I'd chosen Dax or Nerys. But Laren will do. She probably won't be my main heir, though.
I hope to get back to sleep before 7. I might be going skiing in the afternoon with my Pop and my brother.
