Unabashed

I’ve got two things in the pipe that I can’t talk about yet, but are very exciting and sapping a lot of my focus right now. I was thinking about them last night when I went to sleep, and I had this dream…(And you should be thinking at this point “Oh noes, a dreary dream post!” But this dream might just be foretelling the future (I hope not)).

I was at my grandmother’s house, in the back yard, and there were two diamondback rattlers between me and the house. There was a woman I didn’t know on the porch, and she was telling me to go away, but I kept walking closer. Then she picked up the snakes and handed them to me. I took them, like a big ol’ DA, and they bit me on both of my index fingers. Then I ran back into the garage to get in the car and drive to the hospital, only when I went into the garage it was my office, and all my coworkers were standing there smiling, telling me that they’d take care of me. I woke up to a soothed sensation, as if everything was really going to be okay.

So now: Were the two snakes representative of my Two Big Projects that I’ve been focusing so hard on, and are they both going to end up biting me on the hand? Or was I just recognizing the fact that even if they don’t work out, I’ve still got the security of a good day job that’ll see me through? I don’t do dream analysis, and I don’t know if I believe in precognition or not, but that was a weird dream.

I have had some creepy precog moments in my life from time to time. Just the other day I asked for rain and got it, within moments of my requesting it. One time I woke up with a bad feeling about ten years ago, and right before lunch break that day there was an explosion on the jobsite where I was working that burned a guy pretty badly. Maybe the planets are lined up just right for those moments, or maybe the Earth’s magnetic field is firing in my mental cortex. Or maybe it’s just the full moon or the tide or cosmic pixie dust. Or maybe it’s really just all a big coincidence.
