Blah blah dream post for myself, no need to read if you don't want.

Just a dream post, not that interesting!

I had a dream this morning that was kind of strange. I can't remember it that well any more so this is vague. toggy and astrokittie wanted me to watch this movie that was famous for being a hilariously terrible movie with them. I got there late because of...something to do with a parking lot, and then we were watching the movie in the parking lot somehow despite there not being any TV or screen and therefore this not making sense. It looked like a Costco parking lot. There was also a flea market going on in the parking lot, and I stopped watching the movie and left for some reason to go to one of the booths, maybe because I had to go to the bathroom or something. I didn't like the guy who was running the booth or whatever it was he was selling (leather?), but he had a nice dog.

I went into this store nearby and there was a pit viper in there on the floor for some reason. (In the dream, it was just referred to as a pit viper, but this is not a species of snake, but rather a subfamily encompassing a few species.) Somehow or another I got bitten multiple times by the snake on both hands. After several minutes passed with me watching my hands/arms, my hands completely swelled up and there were big lumpy pus nodules on my arms. All-in-all, quite realistic and freaky. Look up snake bites on Google images, it was like that. I told my dad to call 911 but he was preoccupied with shopping for photo frames. (Why was everyone so in-character in this dream? Not that dad would ignore a snakebite in favor of shopping for photo frames, but he does love shopping for photo frames.) There was also some huge drama with catching the snake in the store, and something about transportation across the parking lot to the hospital, but it's all faded too much to remember now.

The bit about the snake bite was quite freaky because I could really feel the pain of it and the physiological reactions were very realistic. When I woke up, I was quite relieved that I had not, in fact, been bitten by any snakes at all.

I had a similar dream once about being bitten by a crocodile. (Not as realistic, of course, since I was seven at the time and hadn't watched Steve Irwin yet.) It really is weird that you can feel pain in your dreams. I'm always relieved to wake up from those.

Strangely, the one time I was shot and killed in my dreams, I didn't feel it.
