bah!

Today has been a day of Not Very Good-ness. Last night I was exhausted, only I couldn't sleep. I must have woken up five or six times in the night. Why, I don't know; my on-again, off-again cold isn't particularly on-again just now, I hadn't napped yesterday, I was not very stressed, I was not in any sort of pain, there was nothing wrong with my mattress or pillow, and there were no loud noises or nightmares -- except a minor nightmare, actually, which turned out to be PROPHETIC. You know how you have those dreams where your teeth start crumbling and falling out? I have those a lot; I don't really know why, because I have fairly decent teeth, and I take fairly decent care of them. Anyway, sometime this morning I had a far more terrifying variation: the keyboard of my laptop was cumbling and the laptop itself was disintegrating and generally not being in good shape at all.

Remember how I said my dream was prophetic? Well, yeah. It wasn't nearly so interestingly melodramatic, but the laptop crashed this afternoon. It is still crashing whenever I turn it on. More irritatingly still, its pre-crashing somehow managed to wipe all of the data off of my iPod. Fortunately Moony himself is perfectly all right, I just have to PUT EVERYTHING BACK. I mostly have, and am copying things from the second computer just now, but EVERYTHING ON THE LAPTOP IS CURRENTLY INACCESSABLE. (YES, THIS MEANS SPN. I MAY CRY.) Fortunately Jonathan thinks that all hope is not lost and will look at it tomorrow. I have spent a lot of the day feeling icky -- my head fogged up and I am having flashes of weird almost-nausea and general tiredness -- and attempting to resucitate my poor fallen comrades, and reading very hard, and feeling incredibly restless and unhappy. I wish it wouldn't take so bedimmed long for our application to rent the house to be either approved or denied; one of the things I hate most in the world is waiting when you haven't any control over the outcome. You just sit about and wait and wear holes in the floor.

haha, if anyone's teeth should be crumbling, it should be mine. After three years of braces and retainers, I still wish my silly teeth shouldn't have to be taken care of.

I dropped my laptop twice last year, and the second time ruined the hard drive, so it turned on perpetually, ie made the start-up noise once every ten minutes while the CD drive whirred. I had to get a new hard drive -- I hope you don't! but if this sounds like your computer, that may happen. Boo for computer troubles.

Oh. The teeth dreams. They are so terrifying.

I heard somewhere that teeth crumbling dreams are supposed to be signs of some great trauma repressed. Considering I can't remember anything very traumatic in my life, I don't know how true this is. But the dreams themselves -- traumatic, yes.

I don't think I've ever had crumbling-teeth dreams, which is good, because if I did they would give me the serious wig and I would NEVER SLEEP AGAIN. Mostly I get chased a lot in my dreams. But anything happening to teeth does freak me out, which is why SPN S3's "Malleus Maleficarum" will probably freak you out about as much as it did me. Because...well, yeah. Teeth, and bad things happening to them...is about as oogy as "Bugs." *shudder*

*hugs*

Pity about the laptop. :-\

I've never had tooth-crumbling dreams. I have, however, had dreams about future events, which, when said future events actually take place, give me a REALLY CREEPY WEIRD DEJA VU FEELING. :P
