Today is Dad's 69th birthday. Happy birthday to him.

As suspected, I did absolutely nothing yesterday except watch television and play on the computer after I got my shower.

I have had it up to my eyeballs with these vivid nightmares I've been having. For once I didn't awaken in a cold sweat afterward, but this latest dream was both weird and horrid at the same time.

For some reason, I was at my former place of employment (the credit union) and it was greatly changed from when I worked there and knew everyone and pretty much everything about the place. There was like a petting zoo being held outside and I was with a friend I knew in my dream, but in waking thought, have no clue who it was, and we were walking around petting all the animals until we got to this bull. The bull got loose and came after me, pinning me to a picnic table I'd jumped on for safety when it started charging. This got everyone in the place in some sort of uproar. People were throwing things at me, calling me the most vile names you can imagine, and there was even talk of having me arrested, but I did nothing wrong. In fact, I promised the CEO that she'd be hearing from my atorney regarding the whole situation because I was frightened, shaken, and completely embarassed and humiliated by everything that had happened.

I know I dreamt other stuff too, but the next scene I remember was back in the credit union. I was waking through like a back lot or something, but it was all indoors and completely empty. I found a magazine where one of the "security guards" was quoted calling me an extremely vile name right on the front cover. I was planning to use it as evidence in my court case. It started another big scene with people coming out and throwing things, calling names, because I wouldn't relinquih the evidence.

Next scene I remember was more of the same, except I opened a door that set off an alarm and this time, they had me arrested. That's when I woke up.

It was comletely crazy. I have nightmares like this a lot, and ones specifically about the credit union. I don't even care what they mean. I just care that I'm having them. I've never had so many nightmares in my life, and now that's all I seem to have.

I'm beginning to wonder if there isn't something really wrong with me and this is a manifestation of it. I'm starting to get scared. Rest assured, I will be talking to my doctor about all this on the 30th when I see him.

In the meantime, I've taken two Aleve to get rid of a headache I have since waking up, and then I'm going to take my new phone to the T-Mobile kiosk in the mall and have them transfer all the stuff from my Blackberry to my new phone.

And that's all I've got for today.
