A reoccurring dream of mine finally happened

[aka Cthulhu]

Dunno why, but often I get dreams of animals biting me. Usually dogs, and usually on both hands for some reason.

And it finally did happen today. Kitten we took in was playing around near me, and me sitting down nearby was a bit too close. Went for a leap, and sunk it's teeth on the fatty part of my lower leg. Just a small bite but enough to cause bleeding. Kitten hadn't got his shots yet, and the irony was I had planned to bring it to the vet this damn Friday.

Usually I'd go to the city's municipal hall. For one thing, anti-rabies shots for people there are free. But considering the current situation, and knowing how those places are packed, I felt that I shouldn't risk it. To an anti-bite center it is... with a pretty painful cost to the wallet.

It's next to a hospital, and it's a sobering sight to see the emergency room bare for safety precautions or somesuch. Doubly sobering are signs in said hospital saying that they can no longer accommodate new COVID patients due to being full.

Also the shots f***ing hurt. As much as the bill. Anti-rabies and tetanus shots. Two on the right shoulder, one on the left, one near the wrist to test for allergies and that one really freaking hurt, and 30 minutes later one on each leg. Near the crotch, not on the butt. Felt as though each one went to the bone.

Had a few run-ins with anti-rabies shots before, and maybe because I'm older it hurt a lot more than I remember it. The COVID vaccine hurt a lot less. Shoulders and legs are still sore, and could barely raise my right shoulder for a few hours.

I have a recurring dream about a giant needle going into my spine

Did the kitten die after biting you, like the cobra that bit Macho Man evidently did?

It bit you and suddenly found itself in the Library of Leng, diving deep into tomes pertaining to batrachian horrors.

Hmm, wonder if that happened to me. Years ago, had surgery where they had taken out a piece of spine and then reconnected me with screws. Pondering if they stuck a syringe during that time. The days after surgery was a morphine filled haze, so I don't exactly remember.

I have a reoccurring dream that I haven't studied for an insanely important exam, and I wake up panicked only to realize 5-10 seconds later that I've been done school for quite some time...

... that and the axe wielding madman following me on the street where I grew up.

Have you seen the 2007 Hulk movie with Ed Norton? That scene where Tom Roth gets host first injection of super soldier serum-so they strap him down to a table and inject it into his spine? That’s basically my recurring dream. But the needle is a lot longer.

I had a dream that I drank a soda sitting outside. I was worried it would be too hot but the weather was cool so it was fine.

I need more exciting dreams.

I have a recurring dream that myself, Kat Dennings, Rosario Dawson, and Penelope Ford are a quadruple.

Thank you for hope that dreams can come true.
