dream last night

this should be prefaced with the fact that I had two yagerbombs at happy hour the night before.

scene: Volcano erupting in Pittsburgh, PA. I fly around the crater to examine the damage. I see trees with the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen. They can only be decribed a cross-sections of citrus fruits, all different colors, in a flowery shape. I was very happy to see them and wanted to remember to draw them when I woke up. Cannot do them justice.

I fly into the volcano and at the very bottom looks like the entrance to a sewer. I contemplate entering the sewer, but decide that might not work out very well.

Fast forward---I am in my room at home. My roommate Eva is trying to plan a party and is asking my opinion about things. I feel something floating in my mouth, I pull it out and it is a tooth. I feel the space where it is missing. Then I feel more teeth floating in my mouth, about 3 or 4, I take them out but cannot find the holes that they created. I start freaking out, naturally, and try to put the teeth back in but to no avail. Now the teeth start moving around, I cannot control them, they have a mind of their own. I start clenching my teeth, and I cannot unclench my jaw. My severe jaw clenching has pushed my teeth up into the gums, I stuggle to pull them out. Half of my teeth are in my hand, the other half are buried deep within my gums. Eva is still asking my opinion about party matters, but I can't unclench my jaw to tell her that there is no way I am going to the party because I have no teeth. I get on the phone to call the dentist. Receptionist answers, gives me another number to call, but I can't hear the digits. I ask her to repeat, she tells me she needs to put me on hold because they are so busy they don't know when they will have time to see me. Heart sinks about as deep as my teeth are lodged in my head. I start to wake up, thinking I need to find the dentist's number. Wake up more, feel my teeth in my mouth using my tongue. Crisis averted...but for how long?

Just another bimonthly teeth falling out dream. Although certainly the most disturbing one to date. Can't wait to top it.
