i had one of those "neural garbage" dreams, in that it was a pastiche of things that seemed to lack a common thread. i dreamt i was an employee at the seattle goodwill warehouse, and we were on lunch break, and folk were sitting down wherever there was a horizontal spot to plant buttocks upon, and i sat upon a small stool. during our lunch break, we were going through some donations between bites of food, to decide which thing went into which box. i got an armload of old lp phonograph recordings, and being the music lover i am [in real life] i was examining the records, trying to find one that i might like to make a copy of. while i was doing this, one of the other employees kindly was asking me where i was from and such, and i told him, i was presently living in a small town just south of seattle, and that i was from another small town several hours further south. then for some reason, a wave of sadness washed over me and i started weeping and dripping tears all over the records in my lap, and i was heaving so severely that i had trouble speaking. i was wailing "i HATE having to move all the time! i HATE getting old! i HATE all of this!" and while i was boohooing, the other employees 'cept for the one asking me these questions, were looking at me like i had gone crazy, like i sprouted 3 more heads or something. then suddenly this japanese photographer popped-up with a combination camera and geiger counter, only this geiger counter didn't emit clicks but instead had a meter, with a green zone on the left and a red zone on the right, with several demarkations in between the two zones with some kind of scientific numeric notations atop each demarkation. the japanese guy was dressed in sneakers, jeans and a gray hoodie, and was very skinny. he kept jabbing me in my private parts with a silver probe from the geiger counter/camera, and each time he did, i shoved him back. each time the probe touched me, the meter on the geiger counter pegged into the red zone. then i got a thought message from the fella which indicated that he would keep poking me until i lifted my head so he could take my picture. then i awoke. a really strange thing was that for several seconds after i awoke, i "felt" tears running down my face, even though my face was dry.
