Moving With Pipe Cleaners
Another strange dream for you guys… Several things from my conscious world invaded my dreams last night. As I was falling asleep our kitten decided to run around the bedroom playing with these two pipe cleaners that are twisted together to make a cat toy. I know. It’s a simple little thing, but our cats love them. We’re also prepping to move on Thursday, so that is forefront in my mind right now. Anyway… on to the dream.
In my dream I woke up to my alarm, got up, got dressed, did the usual morning stuff, and walked out into my living room. Waiting for me were hundreds of boxes. There were big ones, huge ones, medium-sized ones, and even a smattering of tiny little ones. I sighed with exhaustion even at the thought of moving all of these boxes, but I knew they had to be moved.
I reached down for the first box, and realized that my arms were missing! Not really missing, mind you. They had been replaced with red and white pipe cleaners that were the same length as my arms.They were all bendy, twistable, and stretchy. My concern about my pipe cleaner arms was quickly replaced by joy as I realized that I could stretch out my new arms to wrap around the boxes,and pick them up with ease. I quickly moved through the living room picking up boxes and moving them out to the truck that had been pulled up to the garage. I enjoyed using my arms to stretch around multiple boxes, pick them up, and haul them out to the truck. I found myself standing in place a few times waving my “arms” around in the air experimenting with how I could move them, stretch them, and intertwine them. It was amazing! I was making great progress through the boxes when I banged my leg against something. It made me jump enough that I woke up from my dream.
I looked down at my leg to find my kitten latched on to my calf, and he was happily chewing away on my ankle. The little bugger had attacked me in my sleep! I smoffed him on the head and chased him away. I was intent on getting back to sleep when the alarm went off. I was already awake, so I crawled out of bed, went through my morning ritual, and headed out into the living room. I was dismayed to find that nothing had been packed or moved. It was all a dream after all, but at least I have my normal arms today. I’m not sure I could type with pipe cleaner arms.
