On... Dreams

So I'm one of those people who has really vivid and realistic dreams. Some people dream shapes and colors, but my dreams involve people that I know, places that I go to, things that I do on an every day basis. Some of my dreams can be pretty dull, but most of my dreams are quite weird.
Two nights, I dreamed that I was getting a tattoo like a heart or something on my back. Obviously, I still remember the sensation of getting a tattoo since I got one a few weeks ago. The weird part was that I felt pain just like the tingly pain experience during getting a real tattoo. Pain is a sensory experience such that one person's pain is not the same as someone else's pain and a great mystery to scientists and physicians. Amputees often feel pain in their amputated limb. Some people have very high thresholds for pain. I apparent can feel pain in a dream, a memory of a previous event.
The weirdest dream I've ever had in my life was the one where I died. I'm driving my car behind a SUV, and the driver in the SUV gets road rage, shots me, and kills me. Then, I watch the world from an omniscient view from above. It's quite surreal, and yet I am not at all traumatized by the thought of my own death.
A couple nights ago, I dreamed that my brother replicated like budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (I looked up the scientific name. I'm not that nerdy). 

Freud would have a field day with me.




on a lighter note, the bf and I are finally all moved in to the new condo and bought groceries, so we can eat real food now. hooray.
