Strange dreams

I need to get in here more often and record them! Last night it was two insect related dreams: First, I had some honeycombs with honey in them and was trying to figure out how to clean them out and use all the honey, etc. I had them in the house. For whatever reason they were in a bowl covered with saran wrap (presumably to keep bugs out). When I opened it up and started examining some of the comb, a ton of bees flew out into the house. I haven't posted this on my other blog yet, but Charlie (my Welsh Terrier) is deathly allergic to beestings, so it was very traumatizing and frightening! I had the idea to pour out some honey, thinking that the bees would all be attracted to it and would be busy with that versus flying around stinging me or the dogs. Not sure what happened, the dream fades from there.

The other dream last night was that I was visiting with my sister, and for some reason I was doing something in her room (which may actually in my dream have been my parents' room where I grew up). I noticed one of the cats (not sure whose cat or what cat, I didn't recognize it, but it seemed to be their - my sister and brother-in-law's - cat) batting at a huge scorpion (6-7" long!). I tried to stomp it and somehow it ran up on the bed and was in the comforter toward the bottom of the disheveled bed. I finally found it and smashed it, and I remember thinking, "I need to strip the bed now since it has gross dead scorpion bits on it." Dream fades.

Two nights ago, my first full night back from TX where my dad has been sick and I've been spending a lot of time with my sister, I dreamt that I got a call from my boss and he was telling me that they were hiring my sister on in a Director position and she was going to be my boss. I was livid, both with him and with her. I remember in my dream yelling at her, asking why she hadn't even talked to me about the fact that she was applying for this job (she said some lame excuse like she knew the title related to my department, but she wasn't *sure* that it would be the same group I worked in). I was so mad, I remember wracking my brain about how I was going to have the conversation with my boss that it was either her or me, essentially - that if she came on board I'd be moving to another position ASAP. Dream fades.

Strange, strange thing dreams are. I'm sure there are psychological implications of all of this stuff. If you have any thoughts, let me know!
