I normally sleep very well, no matter how good or bad I'm feeling.
I did not sleep well last night, not at all. Everything from bad dreams to annoying achiness.
I woke in the middle of the night, half-awake, not wholly, with my head just pounding from sinus pressure. Had to clean out my nose before I could go back to sleep, and even then it was hard. For the next few hours, I would wake too hot (completely under the covers) or too cold (some part of me not under the covers). I would ache somehow from any position I got into.
On toward morning, the dreams I remember (there were probably more) showed up. I was at some sort of business conference in a fancy hotel. I had gotten a traffic ticket, and therefore was legally forbidden to drive for three days, which was more or less okay since the conference lasted longer.
Other people from my company were there. The marketing guy had gotten our keys, which were normal door-keys, not card-keys. Alas, they weren't in envelopes/held to tags/anything that could give the room number. So he gave me my key, but didn't know which room it was to.
"It's okay," he said, "I think we're all adjacent. We'll just try it out." He looked at his notes, and rattled off a couple room numbers on floor seven, one on floor eight, one on ten. So much for adjacent.
Before I could deal with that, we had dinner...I don't remember much from that, just that it was there. I remember wandering away from it, down into a "cavern" down beneath the hotel that had a largish pool with a huge electric waterfall going into it, where you could turn the place on (and turn up the intensity). If it was turned all the way up, water sprayed through the room in odd patterns. It was really surreal, and I stood by the doorway mostly, watching it.
I'm not sure how I got out of that scene exactly (I know I had to pay 60 cents for the time I'd spent in the room), but later I was in a hotel room (guess we figured keys out). I had a phone call from the VP of my division, who asked if I'd filed some kind of report I'd never heard of, called me by the wrong name, and never slowed down enough to let me ask questions or protest my identity.
Then the phone call was over and I was asleep...I must have been very close to waking now, because the room "configured" itself like my bedroom, complete with Scott next to me. Except he wasn't; he had gotten up for some reason and was just darting in from the hallway and toward the far corner of the room, grabbing the fire extinguisher there (where it is not in real life). He turned back toward the hallway, and I saw an orange glow, fairly steady, but I didn't lift my head.
Then I was awake. And I did lift my head, because I did see an orange glow...oh. Duh. Security lights from the parking lot, through the window of the spare bedroom. Right. It was not dawn yet, and I laid back down to go back to sleep.
More hot-and-cold restlessness. The alarm, when it started going off, hurt my head. I thought I must have a fever, but I don't feel at all hot this morning - or really very sick; just tired and stuffed up.
