I don’t usually remember my dreams, but I’ve been sleeping fitfully lately - probably in part because of the reintroduction of caffeine and sugar to my diet now that I’m no longer pregnant. I woke up this morning chuckling at the bizarro dream I had that included Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, and Nicole Kidman. Somehow, I played the role of Nicole Kidman and I was trying desperately to run away from Tom to get to Katie to get her away from Tom before she has to give birth in the Scientology-mandated silent method. I managed to get away from Tom, but he was ruthless in his pursuit to keep me away from Katie. I never actually saw Katie, just knew that I was trying to get to her.

Psych majors aren’t needed for this dream interpretation - clearly it’s sort of related to my own loss of the pregnancy and I think it stemmed out of a segment on the Glenn Beck radio show yesterday where he talked at length about the kookiness of the Scientology rules for delivering babies in silence and Tom’s insistence that Katie abide by those rules when she delivers their spawn. Also I’m convinced that Katie has been brainwashed by this cult and is being kept in seclusion from her family and any other normal people.

I probably should not have eaten that candy bar last night.

LATER: The picture in this post does not help matters. I think my eyes are damaged for life. Gack!
