Black spiders and nutmeg with milk: this is what my dreams are made of

This past week, I have been getting adequate sleep. Perhaps a bit too adequate, actually. Every night I have had a dream, and this past one was just too bizarre not to post.

It started out with me being in my bedroom. I looked at my ceiling and it was covered in big, black spiders. Then the spiders began to coat my walls and floor, and soon were all over everything but me.

Here's where the real craziness sparks: my mother's acupuncturist, Rick, walks into my bedroom, wearing his nice corporate white shirt and tie. He simply stands for a moment or two, admiring my room, before he says, "Nice job you've done in here."

He then takes a small glass bottle with a white cap out of his pocket and holds it out to me. In a very serious tone, he says, "Take this nutmeg and mix it with milk. After that, drink it all. You will then discover your inner soul."

Cue alarm clock and end of dream.

I spent my entire day pondering over what that dream could possibly mean, since most of the time they do in fact have a deeper meaning. Well, I know the bit about finding your 'inner soul' has to do with the fact that I have been doing a bit of research on Buddhism and Hinduism.

Maybe that's why that bit was in there.

As for the rest, it's all Chinese to me.

Well, I have been eating sharp cheddar cheese before bed each night. Maybe that has some correlation to my wacky dreams.

Who knows?

Just in case, tonight I think I'll hold off on the dairy.
