Pigs in Space

In this dream, I was a young male astronaut, up in space on a mission I didn't think I'd be called upon to fulfill, doing an EVA in my spacesuit but untethered to the spaceship. I was fetching the young astronaut chick I had the hots for, who had either run out of air or something, but for some reason I had to remove her from her spacesuit, hold on to her by the orange belt of the white dress she was wearing (with dark grey tights), since her hat fell off in the vacuum (of course). I had to set some beacon from her suit, so I had to 'swim' over to it, push some buttons three times in succession, then valiantly save her body while I got back into the ship. I got her AND her discarded suit AND me all back in there, and while they closed the airlock and got us some oxygen, I put her back in the suit since hey, it's nicer when a corpse is contained. But then as the air started flowing again, she came back to life! I'm confused, since she had no air and no suit on for about 15 minutes, and okay, she's breathing heavily, but she's alive. Huh. And she's still not a whit interested in me, her savior. Indeed, as we land on earth (without need for any landing bumps or even seatbelts, thanks to this great new technology of matching the earth's cycles), she announces to her friends, "I'm glad I came back for there's something here I love.. Planet Earth!" and away she goes to jump off the slowing ship and kiss a tumbleweed out in the dessert.

I go to greet my mother, Mrs. Druyan (who knew?) and my father, who is some old guy who clearly married her after Carl Sagan died, who then proceeds to pass out while driving me home (too much stress with my valiant mission, it seems) and then I roll over (this was all a dream, remember?) and curl up with a pig back at the barn, and keep sleeping.

Sometimes I'm so strange I startle myself.

That dream within a dream

Was sleeping on shabbos day (I'm sick) and woke up SO disoriented, had one of those dreams within a dream... Dreamt my kid(s) were all watching tv (we don't have a tv) and Yoav and I were in the back of the room, and I woke up and was laying in bed very ill (this was still a dream) but I needed to get up because it was 5 PM and I had to eat shaloshudas... and I was going to eat with my father, but we went to one bathroom in the hotel to eat and it wasn't very nice, so the hotel staff guy came and took us to a more expensive, but nicer, bathroom to eat in. And he was moving the mirrors and stuff around to make it seem prettier, despite the unflushed (yet unsmelly) toilet in the corner. And THEN I woke up, and it was only 4 PM, and I was grateful I didn't have to eat in the bathroom.

Last night I dreamt I was taking pictures of my husband and daughter at one of these bouncy amusement park thingies, and I took some great pictures until I noticed the camera I was using wasn't mine, but belonged to some Chinese tourists.

Corolla and plumbing

I dreamt that we were a car load of women waiting for me to drive them somewhere, out to some dinner or play or something, and they were all downstairs in the parking garage and I was upstairs, just trying to sort something out before I left, namely... Every time you flushed our toilets in the apartment, the wall of the car would shoot out water onto the passengers. Fortunately, it wasn't the flush water itself (it was clean, whew) but I was VERY annoyed because the car is only a few months old, and it shouldn't be having toilet malfunctions when it's still under warranty.

I mean, come on.

I woke up relieved. Pardon the pun.
