Dreaming of Dessert

I just remembered that last night I had a rather vivid dream that I gorged myself on cake. I felt both guilty, and glorious.

It was, you know, weird. As dreams are. For some reason, the cake was being passed around from person to person, strangers, bare handed. It was bright blue and yellow. Pieces of it kept falling off, and of course, if a piece fell off, it has to be eaten, right? Otherwise, that would just be wasteful. 

I think it was chocolate.

And it was delicious.

And then, somehow, I was inside a freezer, literally, as you are sometimes, and I was looking up through the bottom of glass drawers, digging around for frozen brownie bites. Which is something I do at my parents house. Not, you know, from WITHIN the freezer though.

I actually woke up feeling quite satisfied.

I blame the drugs.

Chew Dream Repeat

I have one reoccuring dream. Just one.

Is it sexy in nature? No. Does it feature anyone in my life or past? Nope. Is it a pleasant dream? Nah, of course not. That would be silly. Why would my psyche care to repeat something wonderful over and over again? Simply lunacy.

In this dream, I'm chewing gum. I decide to remove said gum And I cannot. I put my fingers in my mouth and pull and pull, it sticks to my teeth and my tongue and I can't get it out, I end up with handfuls of sticky stringy gum in my hands and still have a mouthful, I did in the cracks of my teeth and the back of my throat and I can't get it all out.

It's very unpleasant.

This is why I rarely chew gum now.

I've had this dream a few times in the past month. I have it so often that I have trouble remembering every time. But I've definitely endured it at least once this week. I finally thought to Google this dream the other day, after enduring it for probably over a decade.

Apparently, it's not uncommon.

To dream of gum means that "you are unable to express yourself effectively. You may feel vulnerable. To dream that you are unable to get rid of your gum, suggests that you are experiencing some indecision, powerlessness or frustration. You may lack understanding in a situation or find that a current problem is overwhelming."

I could buy that. Vulnerable? Powerless? Overwhelmed? 

Or, apparently, this dream can indicate sleep apnea.

Huh.
