Went back to sleep and had a war nightmare.  I think it was triggered by watching Men Who Stare at Goats last night.

     Most dreams I have fall into the ordinary category where things are not logically consistent, and even though they incorporate elements of reality, aren’t real and aren’t even plausible reality.

     Occasionally, I have precognitive dreams and these are entirely different in that they are moments out of a time in the future.  Most are short around 15 seconds or so, some are exceedingly short, only about a second, and the longest I’ve ever had was about two minutes worth.  These are always entirely logically consistent and real.

     The dream I just woke up out of was different than either of these.  It had the logical consistency of a precognitive dream, but it was a high school that wasn’t the school I went to.  The teachers in the dream were not any of the teachers I had in real life, but they seemed totally familiar in the dream.  The building itself was different than the school I went to and yet it seemed consistent and totally plausible.

     The dream was exceedingly ordinary.  I had left an English class in a hurry because I was going to register for a program that provided free reading material, this being, like my real high school days, before the days of home computers and Internet.  In fact, the building seemed even earlier than the school I went to, more like Roosevelt than Nathan Hale, a lot more wood used.  After going to the office and trying to register, but finding out I was too late, the program had ended, I headed to my next class which was a science class of some sort, only upon arriving discovered I had left a my notebook and a couple books in my previous class.

     I went back to the class room to retrieve them and the teacher had put them away for me making that task easy.  I awoke at this point.  The last few nights I’ve had nightmares.  This was pretty much an emotionally neutral dream.  Nothing disasterous happened, nothing really great happened, the school was different than my real school so there weren’t even feelings of missing it.  It seems pretty meaningless on the surface at least.

     I haven’t slept enough yet so going back to bed but wanted to record this while it was still fresh in my memory.

     Nothing like coming out to a black car that’s been sitting under the sun for a couple of hours on an 85° Day.

     They have pretty good pizza but too expensive which is why last night we had marginal Dominoes pizza instead.

     What kind of grass is this planted in front of MickeyDee’s?

     Would you like some cancer to go with that Teriyaki or Mexican?

     If you want synthetic, it comes to $87 not $29, and even their normal service is $39, despite the signs that say $29. I’m not really sure what you can get for $29, if anything. And the Jiffy part of the Jiffy Lube name… As you can see there was no one in front of me, my car is the black one in the photo, but it still took them 45 minutes.
