I'm exhausted! Not only did we have a round of "musical beds" last night (kid into the big bed, me into his bed, me back into the big bed when Mr. MG got up, etc.), but every time I fell back asleep I had more chaotic dreams. All of them seemed to run along the same theme--delays and changed plans. I remember people having flights changed or canceled, hotel reservations altered or not on record, people receiving and redeeming vouchers for changed plans.
This symbol might have come from a conversation I overheard at Starbucks yesterday afternoon--as I was trying to catch up on my word count for National Novel Writing Month, some blowhard was waxing rhapsodic (and loudly!) about some messed-up flight he had. But whether that was the impetus or not, that theme colored all my dreams and made me more exhausted than if I hadn't slept much at all.
There was also a segment about plane crashes, but not deadly crashes--more like emergency landings. :shrug:
What I do recall is, the second time I woke up and went back into the big bed, I lay awake for a few minutes, reflecting on the dreams I'd had in the first two phases of the night, and I started to worry that my dreams meant that I'd chosen to not ascend, and that upset me very much.
But now that I think about it, it wasn't MY flight or reservations that were changed or canceled, but those of other people. I distinctly remember one dream--I was dressed in a business suit (me?) and had MG Jr. by the hand. He was also dressed in a suit (cute!) and was carrying his regular clothes on hangars--and trying desperately to keep them all off the ground. We were rushing through a hotel lobby that was packed with other people standing in a loose, snaking line as they tried to figure out their reservations and who was bumped to another hotel and who would have their vouchers honored. MG Jr. and I were in a hurry, so I had to lead him past all these people to get where we were going--I think we were checking out and we needed to get out to the parking lot and catch a shuttle or grab our rental car or something.
Yeah, I see the symbolism in that dream quite clearly! :D I just need to keep it in mind--we've got to skootch around these folks because we've got a tight schedule.
But right about now, I want to go back to bed! Can't, though, so two and a half cups of coffee will have to suffice. :hi:
