I was on a tram that had just stopped to unload in a cave.  It was supposed to then keep going, but it got stuck and another tram slammed into it.  The carnage was terrible.  We managed to transport everyone to a second level and then started first aid.   Two guys had been decapitated, I started working on the one who had also had his head nearly sliced into three sections.  The only supplies on hand were rolls of medical tape, so I first lined up and taped the three sections back together, then taped it to his neck.  I asked another of the survivors how we could revive him, when the man&#8217;s eyes flew open and he shouted at me to &#8220;don&#8217;t talk about me like I&#8217;m not here&#8221;.   I was startled &#8211; mainly because I didn&#8217;t think he was alive and that if he moved around too much I thought the tape might give way.   I also realized that because of the time I had spent on this guy &#8211; the other decapitated guy was really done for.<\/p>\n<p>It was one of the most gory and surreal dreams I&#8217;ve had in a very long time and I was shaken when I woke up.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, I had some smell\/taste-based hallucinations today at the pool.  While swimming my 20 laps, I had a weird smell\/taste sensation &#8211; but only while underwater.  The first was a combination of baby aspirin and tang &#8211; a sort of false citrus flavor.   It faded out and a little later I had a powder\/pine flavor that shifted more strongly to powder then faded out.  The final wave was baker&#8217;s chocolate\/caramel\/powdered sugar.  I smelled this one more strongly while above water and it&#8217;s possible that the rest of the mostly off-duty lifeguards were having a snack.  In any case, it was damn odd and it threw me off a bit.<\/p>\n<p>I was wearing my swim gloves this time around.  Supposed to increase speed while strengthening the upper body.  I&#8217;m tired, but it&#8217;s not unusually so.  Not sure if they are really making that much of a difference &#8211; maybe with the different stroke?<\/p>\n<p>So, that&#8217;s about it for now.  Got some work to do before my afternoon meeting.<\/p>\n<p>later&#8230;.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img width='1' height='1' src='https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/7938355-768995452237876424?l=approximatelyequalto.blogspot.com' alt='' \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had a terrible nightmare a few nights ago.
