I awoke this morning from an interesting dream. I was filling out some kind of long, cavernous form and I got tripped up by one question: “Do you have private health insurance or state health insurance?”

The question bugged me, and I remember specifically thinking about it for a long time. I rolled it over in my head. Which one did I have? Then I looked over the options for the state program and it asked if I had purchased a specific plan (if so, which one) or if I payed into the general fund. If I payed into the general fund, how much did I invest, etc. It occurred to me that once in high school I’d won a scholarship for high test scores, and that fund had won me some interest over the years . . . perhaps that counted?

Last night I had this crazy nightmare. I dreamt (yes, dreamt is a word, I looked it up) that I had the power to change reality with my dreams, much like George Orr in The Lathe of Heaven. With my new-found power I changed the flow of the time-space continuum and molecular structure of DNA in all beings. No longer helical, the new and improved DNA had more of a flux-capacitor shape. I could even draw it for you, it was so clear in my mind.

Anyway, supposedly in all my genius I misaligned the new flow of time-space with the flux capacitor DNA because shortly thereafter everyone died terrible deaths.

I just awoke from what I think is officially the dreamiest dream I’ve ever had. I’m writing it now while I still remember it. If any of you interpret dreams, maybe you can help me figure this one out.

It starts off innocently enough; I’m in Ohio visiting my family there. My uncle and cousin Bill decide they want to go play darts. I was stressed out because I’d forgotten my makeup (in real life I rarely wear makeup, I didn’t even wear it to my wedding) and I totally suck at darts.
