DREAM

Bizarro dream. I dreamt that Stan and I were at his (bio) dad's and his wife's house. They said they had to make a trip to a store/pharmacy to buy some molecules. I asked them what they meant by molecules, and they showed me these egg-shaped things that IRL I remember they sold at the chemistry stockroom where I worked in my early 20s (and where my dad managed). I forgot the real name for them, but they were some sort of thing that when heated, spun around hence causing the chemical solution they were in to be constantly stirred (??? don't know the technical explanation for it...I'm not a chemist). Stan and I said to them that people must be just as puzzled by when we say that we need to buy some gel medium (acrylic painting medium). Then I was in a grade school and I had to use the bathroom, but all the bathrooms were built for children, so I was quite uncomfortable and embarrassed. As I sat down on the john, I could see all these very young kids (pre-school/toddler age) sitting at desks and eating, but they reminded me of baby chicks...they all were sort of fuzzy and yellow and they were eating earthworms. I thought it was probably just a gummy worm, but it looked too real, and too large in proportion. I was thinking that they were remarkedly well-behaved.

I just got through talking to my dad and he said the "molecule" thing that I dreamt about is called a "magnetic stirring bar." Glad I got that cleared up.

And usually they're more rod-shaped, but the egg-shaped ones that I dreamt about would be used in a round-bottom flask.

Isn't this fascinating?

Your dreams are always fascinating.

You write beautifully. I was just looking around for more examples of your art...and fell into this clever fantasy of dreams. I should go talk to my wife now. Haven't seen her all day.
