Woke up about 3AM out of a nightmare involving our dog, Mei.  She was throwing up something resembling bloody turds.  In the dream this was late at night about the same time the dream was occurring.  My wife works nights and so had the car.  I tried to call her but she didn’t answer her phone, and so I tried to call my oldest son and just got voice mail on his phone.  I left a voice message saying we had to get her to an pet emergency hospital, then I woke up.

     Then later I had a dream, I was in high school watching a basket ball game.  A tall lanky black kid who had been the team star was struggling.  He had injured himself and wasn’t recovering well.

     Today I go into sign my release papers from community custody.  I think this dream is a fear on my part that I won’t be able to get back into my own game fully even after my freedoms are restored.  A fear that maybe I’m too old and no longer have the mental capacity to just “get it” any more.
