Dream: Meet Kari-Beth!

I've been taking some melatonin at night to help me sleep less fitfully and I think it has prompted me to have more vivid dreams. This morning's dream I have to share because it speaks of the connections I have with my bloggy friends.

I was at this place of employment, and I'm not sure if I was an employee or why I was there, but I'd say there was a handful of people working at this place which was really a house, and come to think of it, no one was really working and I have no idea what type of business it was, yet I was all there among people whom I didn't recognize—all total strangers—yet we were all good friends like we knew each other for years.

Now as it turns out this dream had one of my classic bathroom dreams in which I go to use the bathroom and the place is dirty. My bathroom dreams have a theme of a full, unflushed toilet, or a toilet that isn't working so there is crap everywhere, or there is just a feeling of it being disgustingly filthy.

This time the bathroom had cat poop everywhere on the rug and the toilet itself was clean but there was no way I could get to the toilet because of the dirty carpet. I recall thinking that if my mother were to see how nasty the bathroom looked she'd freak out.

Then somehow in this dream there was a lake or pond or body of dark water and I was floating on it while my fellow co-workers (or whomever they were) stared at me. I recalled thinking how nice it felt to just float weightlessly.

But here is where my bloggy friends come in. I recognized one of the gals as being Elizabeth, and when we made the realization, we started talking friendly with each other and we were talking about yarn—I think about alpaca yarn. Then I asked her if she commutes every day to work, thinking that it would be a very long drive since she lives in Lexington, Kentucky, and then she morphed into Kari and yet was still Elizabeth, creating the new person Kari-Beth!

With my head very confused about just who it was I was dreaming about, the dream faded away and I don't recall anymore of it.
