Stomach bug...

[j_cheney]

Picked up a stomach bug somewhere, running fever and staying close to bathroom. Very tired, stomach empty.

OTOH, the bug must have given me a really strange dream that I suspect the plot bunny had little paws in....

OK, so I'm on an airliner coming in for a landing in Calgary. Evidently, the Calgary airport is next to the river, but for some reason, the flightpath takes up down between the skyscrapers of Calgary, many of which appear to be made of yellow, blue, or green plastic, very bright.

I'm wearing a black skirt with horizontally striped hose. Seated next to me is Radek from Stargate Atlantis, who proves to be a charming conversationalist. Across from me is saycestsay, dressed in the same outfit with the striped hose.

When we get to Calgary, turns out that saycestsay and I are rooming together, and she proceeds to show me her new tatoos which cover every inch of her legs. They are all Disney Characters, done in black ink only. (Also, she has a large bruise on her ankle.

Cut to sometime later, where I'm suddenly wearing a blue uniform...hey, it turns out that I'm military! (Once I did an interest inventory at Texas Tech which said I would make a good enlisted marine. Also a good farmer or research analyst. Go figure.)

We're investigating an unknown site (saycestsay is military, too, and we're escorting the scientist.) There's a pool of goo on the floor with what appears to be river stones in it and I.....yeah, you should guess that I would....I touched it, whereupon the entire slime pool is subsumed into my body through that contact, upping my weight by several kilos.

The dream went on, wherein we all worked to figure out what the goo was trying to do...(along with Doctor Keller, don't know where she's been all this time)....yeah, it went on for a while, but didn't end conveniently...

I can only attribute the vividness of everything to the stomach bug.

I'll catch up on things tomorrow.

I hope you feel better, soon. I'm so sorry!

Cool dream, in a very yuck, special-effects sort of way. Sometimes you really have to wonder what a subconscious would say if it really had to answer for this stuff.

I do wonder where it all came from....I haven't seen Atlantis in some time, haven't seen Kelly since November, and I don't recall any plastic buildings in Calgary. Just a mmish-mash of odd things....I'm not sure I want to know.

Sounds like you've got the writing bug as well...

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

Only if I can sit up without breaking into a cold sweat....

So, was Kelly in her green or her red hair phase in this dream?

[saycestsay.livejournal.com]

Apparently, striped.

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

For some reason, the hose were the all important factor. I recall being quite fascinated with them in the dream. Can't tell you what color top I had on, or what hair color I had either....

: )

You know I have to say it -- Candy Cane Kelly, vizen of the skies!

I'm glad to know my subconscious isn't the only one that works TV shows into my dreams like that.

Hope you feel better soon!

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

And I haven't seen an episode of Atlantis in months (no cable)! Go figure. (But I'm glad to know that other people get the tv shows) ;o)

If you end up with river stones in your loose stools, don't call a doctor. Call Stargate Command. Immediately.

Turn out that they were a telepathing communication net.....so yeah, I'd definitely call a higher authority...

Sounds like my kind of story; military sf. Just write it, will ya.

Feel better. (that's an order)

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

I do, today ;o)

[gabriel-writes.livejournal.com]

Ach. Get better soon. I've had my ups and downs too..

I'm still scratching my head over how she showed you all her lovely tattoos if she had black and white stiped hose on.

Ginger ale, for you missy. And insist on Vernors.

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

Ginger ale! Blech! I'm gonna try salsa....

I suppose she must have taken the hose off....I don't really recall how that worked.

You definitely had a touch of the bug, with fever, last night, to induce that dream.

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

'twas weird...

[saycestsay.livejournal.com]

Wild, girl, wild. I was pleased to star in your fevre dreams!

Get well soon :).

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

Dreams are weird, no?

Better today. Thanks. ;o)
