And Another Dream

I was in some kind of a studio apartment.  It was ground level.  It reminded me of one of my old acquaintance's place from a few years ago.  She was a singer in a band, and she lived with her girlfriend.  It was a railroad type place but there were no walls from the front to the back.

Anyways, in the dream, I had I guess a roommate type.  He was off near the middle by the bed or table or something.  I can't remember what, but he was doing something.  I had the feeling of not wanting to disturb him.  Or trying to finish what I was doing so I could join him.

I was near the front of the place.  I was doing something on the wall.  It looked like an Adobe Premiere panel.  That's a video editing software.  But instead of a computer, the panel was on the wall and I was manually placing stuff on it by hand.  While the app would have thumbnails, I was placing pictures on a timeline on that physical wall.

I was syncing audio files.  So these little pictures were lined up on the timeline one below the other.  For some reason, I needed them synced (or sunk, as my old film professor used to say) even though once done, I would just delete them.  They were like music files of live songs, which I didn't want to keep.

There were other parts to the dream after it, but I can't remember it now.  Funnily enough, I didn't really get a good night's rest because I would constantly wake up and think about what I just dreamt.  Maybe I should have written it down right away, but I didn't.  I was thinking about what I would write down, which gave me trouble getting back to sleep.

Eventually, more and more light was coming into the bedroom.  I did not feel rested by daylight.  My kids had been sick this week, especially the older one.  I brought him to urgent care, and they found that he had influenza A.  The doctor lady, or more specifically, the P.A. (whatever that is), confirmed it and prescribed medication for him.  I think it was Tamiflu or something.  And then she asked if we lived together and said I would probably get the flu also in the coming days.

Well, I was feeling fine until then.  And then somehow that suggestion started making me feel ill.  I started feeling things in my throat and needing to blow my nose a lot.  Then yesterday morning, my body just kind of felt sore.  I wasn't really feverish, but I felt some parts of my body to be hotter than usual.

I couldn't get to sleep easily last night.  Even after I took melatonin.  I was still up for another hour or so.  I had dreams, but it was like nothing was happening.  I can't remember the specific events now, but it was just like the characters and I were just waiting around for something.  

I wish I could remember more of it.
