messed up dreams
so for the past two nights, i’ve had virtually the same dream. i am walking to someplace to shop with a small pet (a specific pet, mind you, not just “a pet”). i must look after this pet, knowing it’s going to be a difficult thing to do, thanks to all the distractions/people that the shopping place affords. in the first dream, i realize this is an impossible task, and take the steps to go home, but struggle with the pet while wandering around the shopping area until i wake up. in the second dream, the pet gets away from me, and i spend the rest of the dream chasing the pet down through the shopping area. i eventually found her…i think.
tuesday night it was my cat dexter and was in the loop/central west end area. in the second dream it’s a friend’s daschund (pixel) and she slips into a generic department store…one with multiple floors and a revolving door. there were little dogs everywhere, almost like i was playing “where’s pixel” instead of “where’s waldo.”
going theories are: stressing about my new “job” as team lead (which i’ve had for all of 2 days) and stressing about babies (started reading “eating well while you’re expecting at night…2 nights ago ;) both animals certainly are baby-sized, and i ended up carrying dexter around the bulk of the dream the first night. although that might just be because i don’t walk cats with a leash.
how weird is that?
