I had a dream that I started working at a small office and they had a large hotel or convenience store sized coffee maker. (I never asked why they had one that big.) The thing had been used a lot and probably never cleaned and I didn't want to drink coffee from it without cleaning it first. It was really bad, caked on. The accountant said that management was too cheap to buy a new one. I said "what if someone were to get sick from it? You're the accountant. Do a cost-benefit analysis and see what's the better choice." Anyway, it was too much work, so I decided to wake up instead.


Dream interpreters:

So I had a crazy dream. Actually, I've had what seems like the same dream in variations a couple of times. Anyone like to decipher dreams?

I think this is probably due to mental exhaustion from the stress of what's going on in the world.

Holy crap, my subconscious really let me have it with both barrels last night. 😬

First one about a tooth coming out (probably caused by me grinding my jaw in the night — annoying side effect: I have a headache this morning). Then some kind of fucked-up dystopian shit.

I feel like I've run a mile and been smacked all over my torso and upper arms by little baby mallets, and all I've actually done so far today is get out of bed. ☹

Straight from the mouth of an old woman in my dream: "I don't need to go to hospital, it's just little ovarian cancer, there are home remedies for that!!"

I was so flabbergasted, I woke up.

WTF does it mean when you dream you're in a hotel, and there's a bug on the floor of the room, so you call the maître d' (manager? whatever hotel representative guy), and he looks a bit dismayed and stomps on it, but then it becomes a bunch of snakes all kind of tangled together, and you both realize there's another snake-tangle nearby, and so the maître d' just shrugs apologetically and says you'll just have to live with it? And then you realize you're barefoot?

Seriously, WTF? 😕

I have some free time to read before starting other books I've received for reviews so....
-Do I read the NEVER WAKE: AN ANTHOLOGY OF DREAM HORROR I just got
or
-Do I read Laird Barron's first Isaiah Coleridge novel BLOOD STANDARD, to start preparing for when THE WIND BEGAN TO HOWL novella arrives?

Legitimately excited for each of them, maybe I'll start on both 😂

Such beautiful melody and Tagalog lyrics in this love song by Nica Del Rosario, the composer of Sarah G's "Tala" and Bini's "Na Na Na. "
