11       As It Happens
 -


 Though I don't have them often, there is a certain kind of dream
 I've been having for the last several years, and during the last
 of those years, these dreams have been wholly or partially lucid
 dreams at times.  The oldest ones were mostly night audit dreams
 set in such a messed-up place that doing a night audit there was 
 not possible.  Besides, these places were not only messed up but 
 also were usually dangerous.  After my auditing nights ended,
 the dreams shifted to other maze places.  Last night I lifted my
 osteo body and ep head into bed two hours earlier than I had
 been of late.  I knew this meant I would be awake around 5:30 
 instead of 7:30, but I did it anyway.  As it happened, I woke up
 three times before waking near 5:30.  Each while I was asleep a
 partially-lucid maze dream appeared, but it was the same maze 
 dream continuing.  Toward the end of the fourth episode I was
 either on a winding staircase or on the lower of two balconies 
 the staircase connected to, and below me was a woman with her
 back to me and upon her head was a brimmed hat.  I knew she
 was my death-taken wife, but I kept yelling out Barbara at her,
 and was confused as to why she didn't respond.  Finally, just
 before I woke, I realized I was yelling out the wrong name.

 I am not sure which one, but in one of the episodes was a car
 with a driver and a front-seat passenger.  He was the wildest
 driver I had even seen, squealing and sliding his hot toy through
 the streets of whatever city is was we were in.  I feared for the
 safety of others, but there was nothing I could do.

 This morning it occurred to me the presence of these dreams 
 might have something to do with the ep medication I am on.

 Florida has made it to the Final Four, but so has Ohio State.
 It would really be a twist if both these teams made it to the
 Championship round, and Ohio State beat Florida.
