Lately I have had a lot of wake-myself-up dreams.

First there was one in which I cried myself awake over my mother’s recent passing.

Then came one in which I melted down over something or other: “That’s not how it’s supposed to be! No no no no NO!!”

Next was one in which two intruders were in the kitchen, one took a coffee mug out of a cabinet and was getting ready to throw it, and in reaching out to grab the mug I knocked over my RL water mug.

Finally, this morning I dreamed I was playing Furry Feud. The question: “Name a famous rabbit.” The teammate before me scored with “Roger.” My followup, in a pathetic Roger impression: “Jessica! PlplplplplPLEASE be up there!”
