Most of the first dream was influenced by: The bad day I had yesterday, the commercials for Anthony Hopkins' new movie, and an old but macabre episode of Bones I watched on TV last night.
Here it is: I was in what seemed like an office, with cubicles and an office kitchen. All of a sudden my hands began to make jerky movements, and I realized that I was not in control of my fingers. In fact the movements were similar to the movements of my fingers on the keyboard as I type. But they were involuntary. Suddenly I found myself in the kitchen, with a very sharp knife in my hands, chopping vegetables- only it wasn't me doing it. I immediately alerted everyone that I was not in possession of my bodily functions and that someone should take the knife away from me and everyone came over (no one was anyone I know IRL) and someone took the knife away. Then I was led to a desk or table, and people began to ask me some questions, as if I was possessed and could channel. I was sitting in the chair (or reclined) and I began to fall asleep in the dream. (You know, one of those 'sleeping inside the dream' dreams). Then I felt parts of my body beginning to levitate, and I began to do sponging on my body to counteract the effects. By then, I was half-awake and could see the reactions of the people around me (no fear, only interest) as I was 'puppetted' in the air. At that point I wasn't afraid, but did not like the feeling of not being in control. (Yes, I noticed that subtheme there also.)
I woke up and was a bit apprehensive, as this reminded me of the experiences I had years ago, and I prayed and did some sponging, and went to sleep.
Second dream:
I was living in some sort of group home, (or returning to it) and I spotted a very large aquarium that only held a few fish. They were large, but scrawny and hungry-looking. Apparently no one had fed them in my absence (but they were not mine). I looked for the fish flakes and couldn't find any- so I went to the pantry and found some fish-flavored cat-treats. (you know, those shaped like a fish) and threw a few into the tank. Suddenly a great feeding frenzy ensued, as if there were many more fish in the tank. Then I could see glass-colored fish fighting for the food, so I got more and put it in the tank. All of a sudden, on the floor around my feet there were many fish that had previously jumped off the tank before, and were also glass-colored (you know, clear, like jellyfish) and I assumed that these were fish that were half dead because they had jumped off the tank while looking for food. So I started scooping them up and throwing them back in the fishtank.
As I put them back, they began to acquire color and movement, and soon the fishtank was full of colorful happy well-fed fish and there were none on the floor. There was a planter by the front door full of herbs, and I went to grab a bunch to cook dinner for the people there- and I began to wake up, having the dual awareness of standing by the pot of herbs and holding a plant with my hand (it was oregano, and I could almost smell it) and as I woke more and started to lose the feeling of the dream, a voice said "you are such a nice romanian gypsy lady" and I started to say I am not romanian, and have no romanian blood as far as I know, but by then was awake and was thinking it to myself.
Then I got up and turned off the alarm. And got the cat off my feet.
