Good Morning

Christmas baking day!

Good morning everybody. Very warm, humid and rainy this morning with possible strong thunderstorms around lunchtime. Better than the white or yellow stuff.

It's like seeing someone get kicked in the nuts. It hurts even if it's someone else that gets kicked.

so I've been binge-watching Twin Peaks. Finished the original 90's series and now I'm into "The Return" from 2017. Getting a little weirded out...some of the scenes in the show are oddly similar to dreams that I've had ever since I was a kid. Well before the show was even a thing and this is the first time I'm watching it so not possible that it influenced my dreams as a kid.
Since I was about 6 I've had the same dream on occasion. Only have it when I'm sick with a high fever. Used to freak me out pretty bad and I'd wake up soon after it started. Over the years I've built up a tolerance of sorts to the dream so I stay asleep longer before waking up and can allow the story in the dream to progress.
It always starts with me laying on a floor in a pitch-black room. In the dream I wake up and sit up, sort of confused. As I start to sit up a spotlight comes on from above. But there's no ceiling, just black. And the light only illuminates the space that I occupy so I can't see beyond it. The floor I'm on is a black and white chessboard pattern. I start to crawl around, trying to find a way out of the room. Eventually, I stand and start to try to walk around with my arms stretched out in front of me. And I start to shout things like "is anyone there?" "how do I leave" "can someone help me?" All the while the spotlight follows me but again I can't see beyond the space I occupy so I don't see any ceiling or walls. A sense of panic comes over me as I try to stumble around in the dark trying to find a way out.
And that's as far as I got for years. The panic I felt in the dream of being trapped in that room would always wake me up. But I got used to it and somehow would recognize that I was in that dream again so it became a challenge for me to not wake up and to see what the next chapter was going to be.
Eventually, I built up the nerve to run through the room. But then things started to fall out of the sky/ceiling. Usually silverware. I don't have any idea why but silverware raining down on me. So I'd be running across this checkerboard floor with the spotlight following me and dodging giant forks and spoons and knives. And that was as far as I got for a while.
Next phase was that I would be running, dodging the silverware, and then the floor would start to shift - sort of like water ripples and waves. I would trip and fall as the floor raised and lowered and I'd be back to crawling around.
And that's as far as I can get. In 35ish years and several dozen occurrences of this dream, I have never found a way out of the room. The panicked feeling always wakes me up.

SO.... back to Twin Peaks. Agent Cooper is in "the waiting room" and there's a couple of scenes where the curtains/walls disappear and its just the zig zag tile floor and a black expanse. Then the room starts to shake and the floor starts to undulate.... way too similar to my dream sequence. And now I'm just sitting here thinking WTF.

ANd, no, I don't do drugs.

That's definitely some David Lynch level 'darkness' going on.. Not making fun of it, I have a bizarre re-occurring night terror that occasionally makes a come back, each time with a bit more gory/graphic detail that haunts me, as if a spirit wants me to tell a story about their demise.

Unpleasant adult thing coming up on Monday- I need to go to a viewing for someone that I grew up with ( and his family), he passed from stage 4 lung cancer on Thursday.

The poison has spread... someone asked for Ketchup on a Knish while I was at the Deli counter today. Needless to say I am taking my business elsewhere.
