Nightmares

Wow, I had a real nightmare last night. A few nightmarish vignettes actually. In the the first, I was walking through a Wallgreens and in one of the aisles, a deadringer for Marlyn Manson with red hair had shot himself. He was lying shrawled on the ground and I, wondering if he was ok, leaned over to see his mouth all cruste with blood. I noticed that he had no socks on and his heels looked dacayed (he was extremely skinny, half way to that one body in the movie Se7en that is kept alive with injections, ya know?). I asked the girl at the counter is she had called the police nad she kinda said yeah, he brought a gun and shot himself and she was putting price tags on knicknacks waiting for the poice to come. Perhaps that dream was my take on the Christmas spirit -- all fake looking like Marlyn Manson and finall too fake to live, rotting from the inside out and of course it would commit suicide in a drug store.

The second nightmare was about giant blackwidow spiders (thinking 2-3 inches body length) that kept appearing right next to me and spinning webs and like looking at me (how do they know that I am afraid of spiders?). Some were outside so I took some foamy household cleaner and sprayed them till they exploded in little bloody puffs. I think I ended up killing my mother's entire orange tree with that foamy cleaner, so I'm not sure what was the most horrible part of the dream -- the spiders or losing the tree, the only place to get oranges that taste like oranges used to taste (can't buy oranges like that in the store b/c they are too ripe).

OK, now I have to go and study for property. I have a final in 2 days. Today is the day of reckoning. I'm about 30% there, but I have the Dread Rule Against Perpetuities down, so maybe it's more like 75% cause the rest is just review or material, not actually figuring out anything. This class has a ton of material, but she really gives you everything that you need for the final, no trickiness. I just have to have a complete answer to what ever question it is that she throws our way.
