Dreams

Have you ever spent time trying to figure out your dreams. Last night I went in and out of the same dream about three times as I would wake up and go back to it. It went something along the lines of

1. I went to my cardiologist for an appointment.
2. Next thing I know I am awake in surgery and then they put me under again.
3. Recovery and the Dr says all went well.
4. The nurse pastes something on my eyes and then puts bandages over them.
5. I am laying on my side and know that I should be laying on my back but no one seems to be worried about that.
6. I am in pain (I do not know where) and the nurse gives me this cup with about 50 pills in it.
7. I wake up (for real) and do not go back to sleep to repeat the process for the fourth time.

So lets look at reality - I have a cardiologist appt on Monday. There was supposed to be a heart fix that happened and did not. So we shall see what he suggests then. Last night I was thinking about the TEE and how it still has a sense of unnaturalness with it over how I was there but not there. There are parts that I do not understand or remember.

Pasting something on the eyes....that one I cannot figure out. I know it was to make me sleep and I was pondering the affects of the bi-pap machine yesterday. Maybe that is where that one comes from.

I sleep on my side and I know that for many of these procedures I have had to lay still for 2 hours on my back.

Pain. As the pain was not localized and I just know in the dream that I had it I am actually going to see this one as deriving from the meds. I have two frustrations. I take too many in my opinion and I have had some issues with remembering to take the second morning dose. Thus I think that one comes from frustration.

As I did not dream for so many years I find this fascinating to observe parts of my mind at work while other parts of it drift off into slumber with the rest of me.

Do you remember your dreams?
