many strange dreams about my mother
woke up in the middle of the night to a nightmare of an old lady having seizures and my mother coughing, coughing, coughing horribly then finally saying, "i have to admit that i am throwing up" and going into a bathroom.
then in the morning some strange dream about being in a family vacation house with many people; we were all trying to understand the strange way the many delicate dishes were stored, along the ceiling and in built-in cabinets in the living room; taking many dishes carefully out so freshly cleaned dishes could be replaced, then finding crud on the dishes and washing, washing, washing... my mother getting impatient, telling me to hurry, but i knew it was my grandparents' dishes, and they are perfectionists, so i had better get every bit of dirt out of every crevice.
some strange set of fondue forks that were all connected together, so it would be impossible for people to use them independently; and the tiki mask they were supposed to rest on was the cruddy dish, put away dirty, that i was trying to scrub the crevices of.

Beware the onset of OCD! It starts in your dreams, and, like an independent fondue fork, spears its way into your waking life.
