One interesting thing about being on the nicotine patch is that if you don’t take it off when you go to bed, you have quite vivid dreams that feel so real that when you wake up, it takes a few moments to realize it was just a dream.

Last night’s dream was truly bizarre. Totally not meaningful, just bizarre. So, in my dream, i was sleeping outside somewhere in the country, and i realized that there was some kind of animal walking on me. (I think it was like an opossum, but i wasn’t sure.) Anyway, it kind of freaked me out, but the creature ran away when i started to wake up, so i went back to sleep, (in my dream.) When i woke up again, (in my dream,) i noticed that i had these raised paw tracks on my skin, like i had an allergic reaction to the animal’s feet, and i could see the footprints in a trail all up and down my body where the creature had been walking. (It looked like those people in some countries who decorate their bodies with scars.)

Next in my dream, i was working in a grocery store, (which i now realize is a recurring theme in my dreams even though i’ve never worked in a grocery store!) Anyway, there was this guy working there also who had a deep voice, and a girl working there was walking with me and said to me, “Isn’t the voice of [unknown voice-over character on some TV show that doesn't actually exist but is similar to Heroes] cute?” I said, “He’s the voice of [said character]?!” “Yes!”, she said. “You didn’t know that?” As we walked, i kept running my fingers over the raised footprints that were still on my skin. Then i remembered something that was a bizarre coincidence; that i used to work at Sears with James Earl Jones, another actor with a deep voice! When i told her this, she was also amazed at the coincidence.

Then, as we were walking, a large group of women who had just walked out of their church were walking the same direction carrying banners and flags on sticks, and we sort of ended up walking in the middle of them. Slowly, the banners and flags above our heads transformed into a spaceship. (A fact which seemed only slightly strange at the time.) Then i woke up.

After waking up, i spent the next 5 minutes convinced that i really had worked with James Earl Jones before finally realizing that i hadn’t. (I did have a co-worker at Sears who had a VERY deep voice, but it was not James.)
