I woke up in a pretty good mood this morning. I slept something like 10 hours, so perhaps all I needed was some rest.

1st Dream
I dreamt that I was taking care of kitten. The kitten is like one of the semi-feral cats that inhabit Bishop’s Landing– grey, and long hair in /some/ places, but not all. For some reason in the dream, kittens grow into cats from the head downward. This kitten had an adult-sized head, shoulders, and was growing into adult-sized front legs. But the back legs and the torso and tail were all kitten sized. It seemed perfectly in place in the dream-world. I was at the strip mall back home with it, and we were playing outside a Target (there is no Targer there in real life). There was also a corn field that grew sparsely in the parking lot. Some kid with a water gun came up to us, and said that he needed the kitten to do something b/c it was her birthday. The kitten ran off into the corn field, and the boy chased after her. I just watched them for a bit, knowing that the kitten would return but the boy would not. Strange things about corn fields, that.

2nd Dream
My family lived on some sort of farm, but it wasn’t out in the country. It was nestled into some city. My sister and I (and some random male character) were watching a horror movie about a cursed room on a farmhouse. After the movie was over my sister went to get something from her room. A while later she gets really upset and runs to mom and dad. It turns out that her room is cursed, and she now has translucent eyelids. She can close them, but she’ll never block out enough light to sleep. I suggest she just get an eyemask thing and leave it at that. Afterall, the lids are still there and protecting the eyes. My family does not think this is sufficient (”She’ll look like a freak all her life now!”) and want me to fix the room and take away the curse. I say that I have no clue how to do that, but I can bet them that the room isn’t cursed. I go in there, wait a while, then come out with my eyelids still opaque. There’s nothing wrong with that room. They don’t believe me, and fawn over my sister with her translucent eyelids. They declare that room off-limits. I don’t get what the big deal is. Days pass, cool weather comes and goes, life moves on. My sister just can’t get adjusted to her new eyelids. I imagine she must have traded her eyelids for something else, but she won’t speak about it. I go into the room, and offter to give up my eyelids for something mundane. Nothing happens. Before I can try anything else I woke up.

Also, these dreams are the first I’ve had w/o Sean in them in a few weeks. If that’s worth anything.
