I’m going to try and capture this before it fades away – it was really weird. And that’s saying something.<\/p>\n

I dreamed I was swimming in the ocean with 2 of my friends and when we got out I noticed that each of us had a cluster of seedpods\/egg cases under our skin. Mine were on my shoulder and I lanced one with a pin. Instead of pus as I expected, there was a little clear fluid and then a narrow green plant stem. I squeezed the skin around it and more of the plant pushed though until it was about 4 inches tall. It had green and blue leaves that dried fuzzy – the blue leaves arranged like the red leaves on a poinsettia – though much smaller. As we watched, tiny white flowers bloomed on the small plant. It didn’t seem to hurt though we were all very worried. The three of us located a marine botanist at a local research center who found the plant in one of her books – but had no idea what to do with it. <\/p>\n

So, we pulled it out, marveled at the root system it had in me – then decided to check with a local expert on “things put inside the human body”. This guy had just recently created a hollow cavity in a person’s back and had filled it with water – and four goldfish. The fish, we found out, weren’t entirely real – sort of like cybog fish. They had real guts and skin, but their skeleton was artifical. <\/p>\n

A little more study and we learned that the skeletons contained computer information that – when put together – completed a research paper. <\/p>\n

So, for lack of something better to do, we deciphered the information and discovered that a 2 year old boy who was working on his doctorate was actually the reincarnation of a young black woman from africa who had been working on her masters in virology. It seems this young woman had exposed herself accidentally to a virus and had then experiemented on herself looking for a cure. She was unsuccessful, died, and was reincarnated as this young boy who was continuing her work.<\/p>\n

We had inadvertantly uncovered an ethics violation – since none of the experiements she had done were cleared for use on humans. And that ethics violation apparently followed her to the next life.<\/p>\n

Still no closer to the “plant growing of my shoulder” thing – I gave up and went to my parents house, where they helped me pull all the plants from my shoulder. I think I went there ’cause they have a nice yard and would know about pulling weeds.<\/p>\n

And then the dream just kinda stalled – like when a conversation is over, but you’re stuck with a person and have nothing to say. So, I just hung out there until I woke up.<\/p>\n

And checked my shoulder for a plant. Or even a suspicious bump.<\/p>\n

For those of you playing along at home, this is the third dream where something has grown out of my skin. <\/p>\n

And now that I’ve got that written down – it’s back to work…<\/p>\n
