Things you learned in your dreams last night

[Avril]

If you go to Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital to be treated for something, it will be very unpleasant. And Meredith Grey will be super mean to you. Mark Sloan will look at your test results, shake his head, and say, "Dude, that's bad, I'm sorry," before walking away.

It's a bad place to go as a patient, is what I am saying.

[Der Induktionator]

If you go to have minor outpatient surgery, you can get up and wander around while they're working on your body.

The men's room is up one floor and down the hall, with a nice view over the food court 2 floors below. The people below have a less attractive view upwards. Unfortunately you just have to squeeze past the people in the dining room to get back out again.

Hmmm, I think there are times in all our lives when we wonder that, Illewtrah.

I don't remember the details, but I think I'm traveling somewhere to meet up with Mike Rowe and work with him on one of his jobs.

[Lachrymose]

Off/On Topic (for real): I found out a couple weeks ago my next door neighbor actually knows Mike Rowe.

The three of us actually went to the same high school, even though I was about 15 years after them.

On/On topic: the other night I dreamed I met Brad From Georgia, who was the nicest guy ever. I'm sure this is also accurate in real life. There are additional details I can't remember at the moment, though. I think I went up to him after seeing him in a store where I was shopping with a (nonexistent) friend. I introduced the friend to him. And also mentioned MacHeath by (Snopes) name. Huh...it's rare that I'm quite that accurate in my dreams.

I WISH I could recall the name of the website/supplier that was printed on the back of the really cute and so so cheap table decorations I dreamed of last night b

I would totally buy them. If they existed.

[Zorro]

That I should never trust my mother to cut my hair, because she will actually shave half of it and then lose interest and walk away.

Oh, well, at least her ALS seems to have gone away, too. Since, you know, she actually could walk away and all.

[Cervus]

Don't attempt to play basketball with raw eggs. They don't bounce very well.

Oh, and that giant aquatic bear-dog monster who's terrorizing everyone on the narrow scary bridge over the ocean? He's harmless and just wants to see if he can walk the entire length of the bridge and then return via the beach, because someone told him he couldn't.

(1) My sixth on this subject, and first in a while:

I'm taking four (master's-level?) courses and apparently keeping up with three of them, but there's that fourth course I stopped going to and have forgotten when and where it met. It's too late in the semester to get caught up, so I was wondering whether there was any way I could drop the course, or if I should just take the failing grade.

(2) There was a major ceremony or other event scheduled at my grandparents' former home. I got there but couldn't find a place to sit with my name indicating it.

Thanks.

When a group of T rexes are stalking round your old school's sportsfield, the school canteen will be a safe place to hide. However, there will be a daft person who insists on cooking sausages despite being told that the smell will attract the T rexes right to where you are hiding. You realise it is probably not a good idea after all to have a baby T rex tucked inside your coat, no matter how cute it is at that age.

I have been kissing a friend from grad school while sitting in a pond. Also, I volunteered to tutor students in math.

You can reanimate your dead relatives and speak with them a while, but it is too sad to do so because they are confused and you have to return them to their grave.

[NorthernLite]

When I am being chased by werewolves or vampires I only have to stay ahead of them long enough to be bored by the whole thing and then I can change into a bigger, meaner vampire or werewolf and eat them. Biting into their smooth underbellies is okay. Biting into their furry underbellies annoys the cat.

When dancing in four inch heels never lift your hands over your head. Your skirt will fall down. Nobody will notice.

That's very similar to an episode of Friday the 13th: The Series.

[Cervus]

Even if my house is partially demolished by a truck, my office manager still expects me to come in to work. She'll allow me to come in two hours late, though. How generous of her.

[Graeybeard]

Judging by the horrified looks of dozens of people fleeing in terror, the worst monster you could ever encounter in a series of underground chambers and caverns, is a relentless dance instructor.

When she catches you, you're forced to learn, and continually practice, every single known and unknown dance from all cultures around the world.

[Lachrymose]

Holy smokes, that's also (sort of, but not as much as before) similar to this episode of Friday the 13th: The Series.

At least, that episode gives you a pretty good reason to be frightened of a dance instructor.

What could all this mean? Absolutely nothing. Or that at least two of you have been watching this series. Perhaps subliminally.

That even sleep does not let me escape the endless paperwork involved in the job down here (wonder if I can charge them for the hours...)

I'm going to fly somewhere on a brand new Boeing 787. I'm not sure where, but I'm just excited to be flying on a brand new plane. When I board I notice President Obama sitting in First Class. Republicans are criticizing him because he and his Secret Service detail took the last seats in First, so they have to sit in coach. I go to find my seat in coach, which is arranged with seats facing each other rather than all facing forward like a normal plane. I'm apparently the last to board and don't have an assigned seat so I have to find an empty backwards-facing seat at the very back of the plane. Our flight was running late and the crew was in a hurry to take off, so by the time I sit down and before I can fasten my seatbelt we've already started our takeoff. Inexplicably the plane is flying backwards, and there's also a big windshield sized window which gives me an amazing view out the back of the plane. So as it turns out, the very last row of coach facing backwards is actually the best seat on the plane! Then I get up to go use the lavatory, and of course we hit turbulence as soon as I start to go. Then I woke up to realize I really did have to pee in reality.

I have never seen the series. In fact, I didn't even know the series existed.
