Dreaming

Had a bizarre dream occurrence this morning - bizarre mostly in that the dream wasn't strange at all. All I can remember is that I was up the road at a deli (that doesn't exist) packing up a lot of food for the kids (who were out in the car). I knew it was taking a log time, but I wasn't rushing it. I remember having my typical difficult time with plastic wrap, trying to wrap up some ground lamb. There was some newspaper ad with figurines of the cartoon Beatles for sale, the woman at the counter (which I was actually behind... and was in the middle of the delicatessen) asking me if I wanted the figures.

The unusual part was that I startled awake with the most acute sense of spatial disorientation... Not just that I didn't know where I was (my bedroom), but that I didn't even know what the bed was. My body was an unnatural protrusion of my psyche, an unwelcome appendage. I stumbled out of bed and started playing on the computer while normality was regained.

Then I find Daniel's post about dreams, and the links he gives. I'll repost them here.
