Last night's dreams are muddled and fuzzy only slightly, not as much as usual. I, on the other hand, aam muddled and fuzzy. My eyes still want to go closed again.
The first dream - ummm. Proof positive I'm working too hard. I dreamed I was fixing our incident history query (which, ironically, I have not had to work on this week). The addition of the rotation query in the same module had destabilized it (that's been in there for a few weeks, and it did not do so in real life). This is the bulk of my remembered dream. I started out working on some bug that I just...could not...find. Eventually I found it and fixed it and another one cropped up. Sometimes I was at the keyboard, or reading the screen. Very rarely did I type; I can't recall if I saw words or simply knew what I was dealing with. In at least one case, I felt sort of like I was moving amongst the letters - they were about 1/3 my height, each. Erk.
Sometime after the alarm first went off (which was during the IHQ dream) and before I got up so snooze was no longer needed, I had another dream. I'd grabbed a plant I really liked from someone's yard (with permission) and potted it. It had long narrow leaves and was really pretty. So I got it in the pot, and watered it very lightly, and set it down, and it hadn't been there five minutes before a pot that had only contained the plant contained weeds and the plant was starting to brown a little.
I pulled all the weeds, first (I remember, in detail, seeing the roots come up, feeling the texture of the plants on my hands - and the crisp smell of spearmint; one of the plants I hadn't wanted that got in there was a mint, though in retrospect it didn't look quite right). Then I watered the plant a bit more heavily, only when I went to turn off the water (being done), I couldn't. I freaked, made sure the drain was open wide, and tried to turn the water off again and again - pulling the right handle; I remember this. Yet, somehow, just before I woke up, I realized I'd been pushing down on the drain handle the whole time. I grabbed the right one, pulled it, and the water shut off. (But the handle I'd been moving earlier moved like the one to turn it off - the one I ultimately did use to turn it off - not the simple vertical drain open-close.)
And sometime, I think during the IHQ segment, I somehow got a mirror and looked inside my mouth 'cause the area above and behind my teeth was bugging me a bit. I expected to see that it was pinkish, because I'd eaten something too hot earlier and it had scorched it. Instead I saw what looked like several - very small, really, but not in the context of being in your mouth - gouges. Winced, noticed a black hole between teeth that was about as deep and wide as the teeth themselves (but totally invisible from the front), winced again, and there the dream either faded out or went back to what it had been doing.
Okay. I normally dream pretty vividly. I generally don't remember it, but sometimes I do. But eeeesh. I'm tired this morning, and I actually got enough sleep, darnit. And I think I've been working too much, judging from the first dream. (Okay, I thought I'd been at work too much even before that.)
Now to make my lunch and go to work anyway. Maybe I can get out a couple hours early or something. But I have so much to do....
