DREAM: Ugly Baby and Bali Beads
I had given birth to a baby (I think) and it was really ugly, even uglier than most babies. I was trying to get it to nurse me while I was in a weird chair contraption made of hollow metal tubes, supposed to hold the mother in the correct nursing position. I couldn't get the hang of it, as the baby first took the nipple, then sort of "crumpled" itself, head twisting sideways into his shoulder, turning backwards, etc. As I tried to steady its head, I realized that the thing was REALLY ugly, a bad right eye that was sort of white and pinkish without any coloration, a deformed mouth, etc. I really had no desire to keep the thing, and was wondering if I was obligated to. Funny how in dreams we never wonder how the hell we got in the predicament in the first place, but instead just go with the flow. Gotta stop watching those Medical shows that show lots of deformed babies. Gotta think of cute babies, like Pug puppies. Baby Bulldogs. Kittens. Those are the kind of babies I like. ---- I was at a business that was a weird hybrid of my ex-Depressions job and a bead store. I had a bunch of Bali beads with me, and asked them if they sold a certain style of bead (double daisy wheel). They said they didn't, and I asked them if they were interested in ordering any from me, and that I could give them a good price of $0.22 per bead. I was surprised when they said they would. The person in charge went to the back to make up some order requisition. I then realized I should've put a bigger markup on it, just in case the price of silver goes up. When the head person came back, I was surprised she had ordered 6,645 beads (that exact amount...I remembered it). Why the odd number is beyond me. I was hoping my supplier would have that many in stock. Then I realized the kind they ordered was a not a double daisy wheel, but instead a bright white silver swirled petal cap.

Johnny Carson said that the only safe thing to say when shown a newborn was, "yep, it's a baby."

greenthumb: LOL! Stan: Yeah, I know it's weird. I feel like an idiot savant or something. If I can remember that exact number, why can't I remember where I put my jewery plyers? And what does that number MEAN?

Maybe it's more like an inner idiot savant and then everyone has one, but it rarely shows up - except when you have a dream with numbers in it. Perhaps my inner idiot savant can find plyers.
