The dream that traumatized me
// Listening to: Bond - Victory
I had a traumatizing dream yesterday, and it was horrid I tell you! The stupid dream traumatized me for the entire day and I shudder at the thought of it now.
First of all, let me tell you something that might be connected to this dream. You see, I have a chronic skin problem which I suspect that the medical term for it is Eczema. Basically, it is an itchy, dry hypersensitive skin disorder that normally affects the back of the knees, elbow bends and neck. But in recent years, I've only had it at the back of my knees, so I supposed it has become some sort of resident there.
Anyway, I've not had the stupid skin problem for quite some time now, but it returned to haunt me recently! I supposed I got very bothered by it subconsciously because I dreamt about it yesterday.
Yes! This is the dream I was talking about!
I dreamt about my skin problem, and saw flaky red skin behind my knees.
I did not dream about it healing.
I did not dream about it worsening.
I did not dream about me applying topical cream to relieve it.
And no, I did not dream of myself scratching it.
Instead,
I DREAMT OF RAISINS GROWING BEHIND MY KNEES!
The horror!!
I dreamt of lots and lots of raisins growing behind my knees which were basically like feeding on my allergy. Yucks! This is disgusting! Now you know why I shudder. I had the image of my dream portrayed and replayed in my mind over and over again for the entire day.
The thing is, RAISINS DO NOT GROW AT THE BACK OF HUMAN KNEES!!!
I do not understand why I had this weirdshit dream. Is it because I'm bothered by my skin condition? Or is it because of I had cravings for raisins I do not know of? I definitely hope that it's the former as I would still very much like to eat raisins in my seafood rice at Fish & Co. Thank you very much.
One thing for sure, I'm going to keep off raisins in the short run.
