Not too much happened today. Today was my latest class but I still had to be there at 9 AM. So I got up, got ready, and went to that.
It was the maternal-newborn lecture class, so it was pretty boring. My nose started running out of nowhere, so I checked my bag for some allergy medicine and all I had was Benadryl. I knew it could make you drowsy, but I had part of an Alani this morning, so I figured one pill wouldn't be too bad. Well, about thirty minutes after that I was dozing off. So it was pretty hard to stay awake. I had to get up a couple of times to go to the bathroom and splash some water on my face and stretch. In class we did the APGAR group project and took a quiz over neonates at the end. So I stayed awake for those parts.
I went back to Nana's after that and fell asleep on the couch at around 2 PM. During that nap I had the craziest dream that I guess was Benadryl-induced. Here is the dream that I wrote down right as I woke up because it was so surreal:
First part I was really into horses. There was a place by June’s house with horses and Lou Ann’s house was also near there. I kept driving by to see the horses and one time Lou Ann saw me and stopped me. She had a wad full of cash because she’d just given piano lessons to someone. She was there with someone else and they went out to my car with me in it and started messing with this thing I had on my hood, and it was doing all this stuff. It was like a speedometer on the dashboard of my car that could control a covering on my windshield.
Second part of the dream, our family was on a vacation and had a hotel in Texas. I woke up one day and my family was gone. I went outside and walked along the road in the desert until I got to an intersection with a billboard that said “Massachusetts that way” with an arrow. There were all sorts of metal painted cacti around this intersection and a billboard with a bunch of brochures. I thought about trying to hitchhike with any of the cars that were passing, but then I called my mom and asked what our plan was today and she got kind of mad that I asked that, but what I meant to ask was where they all were.
Third part, I ended up at Sarah’s house by myself somehow, and eventually all of her kids showed up. I remember they were doing some weird stuff to me, like Lydia was braiding my hair into some weird hairstyle or something. Then Johnny showed up and I remember having the hairstyle when he got there. He couldn’t talk very well because he’d just been to some weird religious cult thing where they had to remove some of his bones, and they took some of his teeth. But it was something that he wanted to go to, but he felt ashamed to talk about it.
The fourth part of the dream, I was at the religious place. Janell and my dad were also there. It was in a big room that was kind of like Elk's Lodge with tables and chairs and they started serving food. It was really vibe-based here. In remember Janell was acting a little off and my dad saw that and got mad. You really had to fit in with everyone. There was some phrase they used to indicate when someone wasn’t acting like they should, but I forgot. My dad was kind of into this religion, I was pretending so my vibe wouldn’t be detected. They started serving food and I went to get some. I went to break off a piece of sausage to put on my plate, but ended up putting lettuce instead. I was really struggling to serve my food. But I got it and ate it, and then it got even weirder.
The fifth part involved people from my nursing cohort as well as Adventure Time. I think the food we ate was drugged, because cracks started forming in the room that the religious cult was in, and lot of people escaped. I was one of them, and I started running, along with some other people. Some people from my nursing cohort like Noelle were following me, but we were all being chased by something and they couldn’t keep up. Then I was somehow in Adventure Time, but I was using powers from Terraria, and I started chasing Princess Bubblegum, it was all weird from the drugged food. I eventually made it back to the religious room where they had cots all out on the floor and Jayden and some others from my nursing group were there. They’d also escaped but came back to the room. And that was it.
So that was the dream, it doesn't sound that different than any other crazy dream, but it felt different. It felt like such a long and surreal dream. So I woke up from that at around 4:30 PM and went out on the porch to write it down in my notes app. I didn't really do much else that evening, just watched YouTube, probably played Terraria, then watched some Modern Family, made some red beans and rice and the beans were still hard, so that wasn't too good. Then I took a nice bath and listened to music, then finished my homework after that, brushed my teeth, took some melatonin, and went to bed before midnight on the couch.
So pretty good day I guess, but not really. All I did was go to class and have a trippy dream. 3/10.
