Dreams for Finals Week

I don't really want to write about how stressed I am or how depressed I am or my sleeping problems right now. So... I want to talk about my dreams. I've been told (by Mark Doty) that dreams are only interesting to the dreamer, but I am selfish and the main reader of my blog, so I'm doing it anyway.

The dream I had this morning was convoluted and didn't happen in a story structure, so I won't delve into it. I was a mermaid/human (like in Splash!) which is expected since I just wrote a mermaid story. There was this guy who was my prince, but I don't know much about him. There were twin baby boys that always needed to be held and cared for, and we were always either captured by or on the run from torturerers- a whole island of them, and they had an entire society I won't talk about. I also had a little girl, but she was screaming and screaming and always showing where we were. At the end I reached to her face and it broke inward, and there was all this machinary inside. In fact, the only reason I find this dream interesting is because it's another dream with family (like all the others) and it's a second dream where a female family member who shows up way later and ends up being a doll.

In the other dream that I had two nights ago, I was visiting my cousins. Their house was on this big pile of machinary (do you see how many parallels there are? crazy) and I had to climb it whenever I wanted to get inside. I forgot my toothbrush and wanted to buy one, but my cousin (who is in real life very aloof) wanted me to use his. And I didn't want to. I just wanted to buy my own. But he threw this really awful fit, and he kept following me everywhere making sure I wouldn't buy one, so I ended up using it, and I felt disgusted.
