"This Will Be Just What She Needs... ..A Bowl Of Rain!"*

-:- -:- -:- -:-

The first one was from several nights ago. I dreamed I went into the kitchen and there was a large glass bowl full of green apples on the back of my stove. I was surprised, because I didn't think I had any apples, so I was looking at them a little strangely, and they started ridiculing me! They were saying things like, "You need to pay more attention!" and "We've been here for weeks!" in these snotty little high-pitched voices. (When I woke up, I wondered if they came from Crabby Apple Tree, who was a character on Tom Terrific, who I don't remember. But Pat told me about both of them. They were cartoon characters, in case you couldn't tell from their names.)


The other one was from night before last. I love dreams like this.

It was set in the Bones universe, and Zack was still part of the team. I was part of the team too, though through it all I was either invisible, or changing who I was repeatedly. We'd all been locked inside the lab for a new test the government had devised to make us think more creatively. (It was like the scene in Apollo 13 when the scientists had to figure out a way to make the square part and the round part fit together so the astronauts wouldn't die.) Anyway, we were all there with all our equipment, and Booth was there, but he was very unhappy. He kept saying that there was no reason for him to be there because there was nothing for him to do, none of the tools he used were there, he didn't even have his gun. He kept complaining until finally Brennan very kindly told him that he was one of their tools, so he should go sit down until they needed him. Oddly enough, Booth accepted this.

Then I woke up, turned over, got comfortable, and went back to sleep where I dreamed I was back in the lab, now telling Hodgins about my dream of how we were all locked in the lab, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. (You can never use two et ceteras. It's either one or three, and if it's three, you have to spell it out. I may have watched The King and I a time or two too many.)

Apparently in my memory of my dream, I had had a crush on Hodgins, and I didn't want to mention that part of the dream to him, but without it there was a gaping plot hole and the whole thing made no sense, so I was sort of tiptoeing around it, very embarrassed and afraid he already knew, or could tell by the way I was looking at him.


Analysis: the apples are red peppers I need to cut up and freeze. They aren't mocking me--not to my face, anyway--but they could be.
The first Bones dream is an exercise I did with my therapist two weeks ago, and which I will talk about later. I think I set it in Bones-land because it fits well there, and I've been watching it a lot lately.
