Today I awoke with a unique but crazy dream.  In my dream I felt the need to floss my teeth.  When I did, I discovered all sorts of dead insects in my mouth and they just kept coming!  It was so disgusting!  I used my toothbrush to try and get them out, but there was no end to the amount of insects!  One would think this had to do with guilt over foul language or something, but my language is very clean 99.9% of the time.  So I have no idea where this dream came from!

On the plus side, the amount of "screaming" nightmares has decreased significantly.  People wonder why I don't like horror movies or haunted houses.  I get plenty of that from my dreams!

More craziness and what I have discovered about my health since.

So, lately my dreams all seem to have a theme.  Last night I was in a parking lot and discovered that my car had been stolen and no one would help me.  In order to leave the parking lot, I had to stand in line and be checked out the way they check you at airport security.  It actually wasn't until after I had been through this line that I discovered that the car wasn't there!

I had a dream the other night about not knowing how to get home.  I just kept going and going, and I never did figure it out.

I also had a dream that my hair fell out as I was brushing it!  I have had dreams of my teeth falling out, but never a dream about my hair!  It was so real to me!

So, here is what I have discovered about my health since I started the blog.  I have been diagnosed with relapsing remitting multiple schlerosis.  I am still in a very early stage and other than having to take medication and vitamins daily, life is fairly normal.  Could these crazy dreams have something to do with this diagnosis?  It makes me want to do a survey and find out.

After years and years of crazy dreams, I have finally decided to write about them.  For this, my first page, I thought I would talk about my recurring dreams.  I have decided to just list them in a random order.

1.  Teeth Falling Out.  I suddenly discover a loose tooth and then before I know it, all of my teeth are loose and they start falling out!

2.  Failing to Find an Exit.   I am inside a building trying to leave, but I can't find the exit.  Every door I see leads to more doors, but none of them get me out!

3.  I Can Fly.  I jump into the air and I just keep on going!  I can glide through the air and float over every obstacle to get where I want to go.  This dream occasionally happens when I am lucid and I can use this power to fly away from unpleasant situations.

4.  An Intruder is In My Room.  I think I am awake, and there is some creepy intruder in my room standing over me!  I wake up screaming!

5.  Something is About to Fall on Me.  I think I am awake and there is some kind of earthquake. Something is about to fall on me and I wake up screaming!

6.  I am Seized Upon By a Negative Force.  I was being possessed by an evil force that would take over my body and I would try to scream but not be able to.

7.  I Can't Spit Out My Gum.  I am chewing gum and decide to spit it out because it's lost it's flavor.  I try to spit it out, but it's stuck to my tongue and I just keep pulling and pulling, but I can't get rid of it!

8.  Restroom Perils.  I really need to use the restroom, but all of the stalls are extremely filthy and they don't have doors on them!

9.  Water Evaporating Before I Can Drink it.  I am so thirsty so I grab a glass of water to drink, but it evaporates before it reaches my mouth leaving me even more thirsty!  I typically wake up from this dream with a very dry mouth and must get water!

10.  Being Naked.  I am walking down the street and suddenly discover that I am not wearing clothes!  All I have is a backpack!

11.  The Past and Present Collide.  I am back in high school or junior high, but I am still married with children!
