Woke up from an oddly disturbing dream, of which I only remembered fragments on waking.

The dream had to do with blumindy being a superhero, making the world safe for kink and/or fighting spam. anniemal and I were madly scrambling to prevent information about blumindy's secret identity from falling into the wrong hands. At some point the three of us were involved in surgery -- two of us operating on the third, but I don't remember which of us was the patient. I do remember that the surgery was unnaturally tidy. Blood stayed in convenient areas instead of trying to flow messily, and the parts fit together more like a three dimensional puzzle or a machine than what I remember of the insides of vertebrates from doing dissections in high school. The surgery involved a silver, cylindrical organ or device with rounded ends, low in the right side of the abdomen. The colour, but not the shape, of a squid's ink sac.

The odd part is that I have no idea which part of it was disturbing, only that I woke feeling very disturbed by some aspect of it. I was also trembling, but that went on long enough that I'm not sure it was because of the dream, or was itself what woke me. I felt like the world was slightly tilted, and my guts were in crooked. Now that I've been awake a little while, the feeling that the world is askew has faded, but my gut still feels funny. Maybe I was the patient in the dream? anniemal said she thought she heard me mumble something about being pregnant, so perhaps that was a part of the dream I don't remember.

I woke after only two hours of sleep (I was short on sleep yesterday as well, not good for someone with fibromyalgia, but it happens far too often), at about the time the Ultram and ibuprofen I took before going to bed would be wearing off. (#include "why-I-want-time-release-Ultram.txt") So this is likely related to the workout my body got on stage last night.
