Last Nights Dreams
I've recently methylphenidate, generic of Ritalin, for six days now for ADD symptoms and although it's supposed to be a stimulant for me the effect was paradoxically the opposite. For the first few days it seemed fairly heavily sedating, then by last Saturday not so heavy then Sunday and Monday were good productive days.
Yesterday I got quite a lot accomplished but when I went to sleep I woke up about three hours into it out of a nightmare, I don't remember now what it was but something large and hungry had intended me for dinner.
About an hour and a half later I woke up again, this time in the dream I had dropped something heavy on my right foot and it hurt like hell. I woke up and my right foot was still hurting like hell.
Several years ago I injured my right foot when swimming (kicked the steps in the pool while launching off to go under the lane divider) and ever since then a muscle in that foot occasionally spasms and when it does it is very painful.
In a dream just before I woke up this morning, a very elderly man had given us a cat in my last dream. The cat was an orange tabby that very much resembled my daughters cat except it did not have the black marking her cat has. It also did not have the personality her cat had, instead it was like our first cat Fred that died some years ago, very friendly and intelligent.
Fred was unlike any other cat I've ever had or known. He was a black long haired mix of some sort, very friendly. Unlike most cats he would usually come when called. He seemed almost human in many ways, very intelligence and you could tell he knew it. Loved to ambush the neighbors cats and run up and knock them on their side.
Anyway Fred's been gone for many years and I miss him and I doubt we'll ever see a cat like him again because I think he was one of a kind, but in this dream this cat had a personality like his.
Also in the dream for some reason we had a ceiling fan in our bedroom and somehow a bird got into the house and perched itself upon one of the blades of the fan and this cat was down below trying to figure out how to get to the bird.
