Ice Age

Been feeling not completely well the last few days, allergy hell and I think I've acquired some virus that appears to be making the rounds.

This morning after about four hours sleep, I had to get up and go to Bellevue to restore a server to service that had crashed. It was our main web server so it couldn't wait.

After I got back I took care of some work and then decided I really needed more sleep and went back to bed. After about an hour in bed I found myself simultaneously cold and hot, shivering and sweating at the same time, and then feel to sleep that way.

I dreamt it was June and we'd suddenly entered an ice age. Around Seattle there were snow drifts 12 or 15 feet high everywhere. You could not get around. I was pretty sure we were just going to freeze to death where we were. 30,000 years from now they'd dig us out of the ice with the bit of apple still in our mouths just like the Woolly Mammoths.

This did not have the characteristics of precognitive dreams that I have, it was jumbled and discontinuous both in space and time like an ordinary dream, so I am not expecting a new ice age to come in June, I think rather it was just a reflection of how I was feeling, my brain trying to make sense of feeling hot and cold at the same time.
