Travels and etc.

Another really vivid dream last night, although it wasn't too strange.

I was getting ready for some kind of formal ceremony - not sure exactly what it was. I was going to wear a dark blue dress and my hair needed to be curled. My parents were getting ready but they were taking too long and I needed to have everything ready, and be showered and dressed for the ceremony. Then for some reason I realized I needed to go and get something from CHINA.

So I flew to China, right then. I think I assumed that the time differences would work themselves out and I'd still be back in time for the ceremony. I stopped in the first gift shop I came to outside of the airport and got myself some post cards. That was all I needed - it was like I needed to show that I'd been to China and back or something, and it was really important.

I paid for the post cards using American money, and the woman at the desk tried to sell me some special "stamp" that was literally a rubber stamp to pay for postage. I bought regular postage instead, even though I never actually sent the cards. About the time I was finishing up buying everything, Brian showed up.

I gave him the backpack I had with the postcards inside and started back to the airport. Then I realized that my plane tickets were in the backpack, so I ran back to the store - thankfully Brian was still there - and got the tickets. As soon as I had the tickets in my hand again, the dream ended.



Also: I would like to (not so) proudly present the return of the death cough. After being free from its terrible grasp for the summer, I got sick again a few weeks ago and developed the cough right back. I've noticed a trend that goes "get mildly sick and cough for months afterward". I feel like I should probably go to a Dr. but I went billions of times last year, and all I got was an eventual chest x-ray and a diagnosis for something completely unrelated to the cough...?
