I'm fuzzy today. Had diffuculty waking up this morning, and I think that was due, in large part, to the wacko dreams I had last night. There were two primaries, and they were entwined in such a way that, while I knew I was dealing with two hugely separate issues, I had to treat it as one big problem.
As most dreams go, I can't really describe what was happening--it's mostly gone at this point. One of the big themes, though, was that I was doing a triathlon and had forgotten my bike. And all of my gear. And sportsbras and socks and shoes... I finished up the swim part in fine shape, but when I got out of the water I realised I was completely screwed. This realisation was followed by much running around and scrambling for gear--including going back to my family's house in Siloam Springs, Arkansas (we haven't lived there for over 10 years!) where I discovered a broken/rotted garage door.
The other part of the dream was that this triathlon was happening as something of an aside in a big camp/getaway thing. We had been setting up camp just before the seemingly spontaneous start of the tri, and I remember seeing various couples go off to their little white tents together. And a LOT of laundry.
Anyway, when I have dreams like that--rather detailed (at least at the time) and particularly stressful--I just never feel rested upon awaking.
As a not-altogether-unrelated-aside, I got a lot done yesterday, including some yard work and taking the lawnmower to a repair shop. (Sorry, David, but I would rather let someone else take it apart and make it better--at least until I get my own air-conditioned shop with all tools at the ready and no need to clean it up at the end of the day!) I think all the sunshine and heat must've wilted my brain cells a bit, causing the restless night.

Hi K,
I wonder if those dreams had anything to do with unresolved lawnmower anxieties. If so, taking it to the shop should resolve everything.
Usually when I have dreams like that, and wake unrested, it's because of some otehr anxiety, about not being able to get something done. Obstacle after obstacle.
I hope you sleep well tonight!
It will prove interesting though to see if novidavid's suggestions were indeed the issues with the mower...
Yes, I'm curious about that too. But what makes me more interested is the prospect of hearing about a lawnmower dream. I've nnever dreamt about a lawnmower. I can't say what it might signify. Any thoughts on the matter?
Too late! I thought of this after hitting the 'publish' button.
Shannon - you have a house of your dreams, right? So, what about the lawnmower of your dreams? Or, in Kerri's case, lawnmower of her nightmares!
Hmm. Is that a category of dreams we should start paying attention to? The lawnmower of my dreams is.... There was also that movie about the guy who rode a lawn tractor cross country. I can see a story developing here.
