recovering from heart surgery
Dreams are so weird.
And my lastest dream I feel like I need to get off my chest.
During my dream I was laying on a small, metal operating table, the doctor reached into my chest and pulled out my heart. He didn’t cut into my chest or anything, just reached in and grabbed it. Then I was rolled over onto my left-side, and the doctor put my heart on a table behind me. My heart was still attached my body though, by one thick vein that I saw coming out of my chest (though no blood or open wound was there) and it laid against my upper arm and the doctor worked behind me.
yah. weird and not done.
The doctor took a small chainsaw-ish piece of equipment and started sawing into my heart. I felt no pain, but I felt a lot of pressure that was only relieved when the doctor stopped the saw. The pressure wasn’t felt in the heart or on my chest, it was felt on my back…around where your bra-strap would fall. So whenever the sawing was on, I felt like someone was pushing their finger tips up against my spine so hard it felt almost suffocating.
I felt a slightly panicked in the dream, but really had a sense of that this was necessary and everything would be OK. I woke up because in my dream I gasped out loud, and in reality I had gasped out loud and woke myself up.
I had a backache all day.
Heck, if I know what this dream means.
I read that to dream of heart surgey means a change in personal relationships. eh. Other places say since the heart is the symbol of love and romance that the dream is probably related to that.
Any ideas?
of course
after several days of cruising, boozing, and stuffing my face with food — yesterday and today my stomach has turned against me. It’s screaming. It’s been screaming at me stop, and I ignored it’s cries, so now it’s making me cry… =( taking some ibuprofen and hoping this pain stops (though knowing me I’ll probably end up dropping by the ship doctor in the a.m. if this pain isn’t gone.
