Thank you for Fever Dreams and Back to 98.6

My last night in California I came down with some bug (probably from the airplane). 

It attacked me suddenly, in my knees, ankles, elbows, knuckles, and all places that have never ached that bad before.

I went straight to bed. Karma brought me NyQuil. Linda wrapped me in blankets and tucked them around to try and warm up the burning iceberg that was me.

 

I dreamed…

 

I was standing in the center of a tall glass cylinder made of swiveling mirror panels. 

I looked into each panel, one at a time. I glimpsed a ghost and the panel turned. I worked my way around the cylinder to the next panel with a ghost, and it turned until I had looked into each mirror panel to find a disappearing ghost as they all turned one at a time. I asked the ghosts “Am I going to die?”. 

Then I woke up, threw the five blankets off, and Linda came in and touched my face with her cool Mom hands. It was over. I woke up the next morning feeling fine.

 

The last two days I have been a bit out of sorts but am feeling all better now.

 

Last night I dreamed….

 

I was in a large house with many corridors. 

The house was built on water and I had to take a boat from one room to another. 

The house was full of children and people from my past. They were all having fun except one child who had a BB gun and decided to shoot it into what looked like a big screen TV. 

One of the adults asked “Why did you do that?” 

The child replied “The information box is broken.”

 

Ah yes, back to normal…

Thanks for 98.6
