For some reason I haven’t been sleeping that well lately. I think it’s a lot to do with starting my semester back to school, and getting re-acquainted with all the large amounts of reading and writing I have to do again. It always takes me a week or two to get back into the school groove, and until I do, my sleep patterns are always disrupted. Lately I’ve been waking up really early, and then not being able to fall back to sleep. Matt keeps suggesting that I take a nap when I get tired half-way throughout the day, but something you should know about me right now before we go any further (as Meatloaf would say), is that I loathe naps. They’re actually the bane of my existence. I do not do well with naps, and I don’t know what it is about them, but every time I take a nap I always wake up pissed off. Go figure. Some people love naps, I personally hate them. Anyway, I really have no idea why I went off on a tangent talking about naps…
So, because my sleep has been out of whack, I have had these really bizarre dreams. Most of the time I don’t even remember my dreams, and I am definitely not someone who analyzes dreams to figure out what my subconscious is trying to tell me. However last night I dreamt that I dropped my toothbrush in a toilet. In my dream, I remember thinking it was really gross, but for some reason I thought the toothbrush was salvageable. So, I went and grabbed some of Matt’s latex gloves out of his medical bag, and when I returned to fish my toothbrush out, the toilet was suddenly spontaneously flushing itself. Every time I stuck my hand in to get the toothbrush, it would flush and disappear again.
This was such a weird dream, that just this once, I had to explore more in depth what this all meant. I looked up what water in any form might mean, (e.g. bath water, rivers, fountains, dish water, lakes, bottled water, toilet water, dog bowl water, etc.) and I found that it represents something spiritually good, and if you are a fire sign (which I am), dreams with water are good for balance. So yay. Well, whatever all that is supposed to mean…
However, I got to thinking and doing a little of my own analyzing, and this is what I came up with:
- Maybe it just means I need to clean my toilet?
- Maybe it’s a sign that somebody has been cleaning our toilet with my toothbrush. Ugh, which would be the biggest fail of the century…
- Dirty mouth? Maybe I need to clean it up with some Orbit?
- Maybe I’ve seen Grease one too many times, and the combo of Rizzo’s potty mouth and Jan’s Brush-a, Brush-a, Brush-a were too much for my subconscious to bear…possibly?
- Maybe God was showing me the error in my own potty mouth ways, and it was a sign to clean that sh*t up. Ooops, dang it, there I go again.
Or maybe what it really means is that I’m just utterly full of crap?
Well, I sure hope not…
