My dream diary 2023

They say that nobody cares about other people's dreams. So with all the more reason here are descriptions of my strangest and most memorable dreams of 2023. From youngest to oldest.

A strange flat and wide plane was on a test flight, but then fell nose down to the ground. Something worse was going on, the end of the world was coming, but not many people knew about it. They wanted to imprison my family so that we wouldn't spread information. I tried to get my captors to release me by talking. That it's too late anyway, that soon everyone will find out anyway.

In a horrible dream, my eyelid came off. I tried desperately to put it back and make it stay. But no, a doctor had to sew it back up. I was thinking miserably how I can clean my eyes in the future, since apparently my eyelids can't take such excertion anymore.

I was Adam from the game F13. At the end of the dream, I flew around using a flight suit and peeked into people's homes.

I tried to kill my cat Olivia by beating her on the back with a crowbar, it was meant to be a mercy killing. But she just wouldn't die, so I had to leave her alive in even weaker condition. It wasn't angry with me, she let me pet her. A horrible dream.

 

 

At the end of the dream, I was going to a lesson held by the Mythbusters. I tried to escape from the place by sneaking to take my coat and shoes and leave with them in hand. However, I was followed and I tried to say that I wanted to be alone because I was traumatized by what happened to me in the dream earlier. And what happened to me? I was in a life-threatening photography session involving a similar street roller/asphalt leveling machine. For some reason I had barbed wire around my upper arm and it started to get under the street roller. The photographer tried to save my life by sawing off my arm with that barbed wire, but luckily I ended up with just a cut on my upper arm.

I was working for Resident Evil's Umbrella. There was an order to evacuate, and I tried to get home but I couldn't find it in the mall-like skyscraper. I met a man who asked if I had worked on a zombie virus. No, just a retrovirus. The man said that the zombie virus is the retrovirus...!

I was going to Hawaii and somehow managed to get there without flying. But a nasty surprise awaited us there, a mandatory short and local flight. I woke up in my childhood home bedroom and asked my brother if we had landed. My brother lied that no, we had actually already arrived happily and safely. So I often have nightmares related to airplanes and flying, I've actually never been on an airplane.

My friend was tantalizing a wasp nest, but the wasps thought I was the culprit and attacked me. Wasps kept getting into my nose and I tried desperately to get them out.

 

I was going to a movie and I helped another movie-goer to look for a movie ticket that had fallen from the ground. The ticket was found and it was pink in accordance with the Barbie theme, but it was still for Scream, where I myself was going. I was pleasantly surprised that someone else is going to see Scream and not the other two movies (Barbie and Oppenheimer).

I was drugged and something was put to my neck. I knew that they wanted to use me to make a suicide attack on a public place. I thought I should go to a forest alone and explode there. But then the thing was taken off my neck, and an ambush was arranged for the bad guys. I was hiding behind a balcony railing. Like the others, I started chasing the bad guys who were trying to escape when the bell rang.

Russia attacked my hometown. Dropped fighters to our yard. At the end of the dream I said that this is worse than a nightmare, is this a dream?

 

I chatted with Dr. Now from My 600lbs Life about the differences between medical training in Finland and the USA. (and my "knowledge" on the subject is, of course, from the series ER)

 

I was one of the police in Law & Order. The episode was already ending and everything should have been clear when a stranger came to the police station with a gun. He didn't threaten me with it in any way, but I wondered how he had gotten through the security check with it. I told him he would be shot if he was seen with a gun and I took it. I took the gun to the security check to a police, who took it in his hand and accidentally shot me in the chest. That stupid policeman tried to call an ambulance but was unsuccessful. In the chaos, the guy who brought the gun started a hostage situation and was going to shoot me and I tried to stop it by talking. "Aren't we friends when I stopped you from getting shot" etc.

Airplanes kept falling to the ground. The goal of the pilots was to kill as many people on the ground as possible. I saw the first plane hit the neighboring neighborhood from the window of my home. The last one hit the airport. After managing to dodge it, I tried to get out of the airport, but of course I couldn't find an exit.

 

 

I was trying to get away from an annoying wheelchair patient with Nurse Jackie's male nurse. First we took the elevator to the fourth floor, and then another elevator to the roof.

I was part of Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible crew. We had to jump a really long jump without a parachute, the landing place was a pool of water where, of course, there were anacondas. But being a savvy MI guy, of course I literally tied the anaconda to a knot.

Some man strangled me. There were other people there and I asked for their help, but they were involved in the same plot.

 

I had bought 40 gift subs on Twitch while I was sleeping at night. The stream had been turned on on the tablet in bed and I had accidentally pressed the buttons while sleeping. I cried because I knew I wouldn't get my money back no matter how I tried to explain to Paypal. It was only at the end of the dream that it was revealed that my brother was to blame, he had watched the stream at night on my tablet.

Post-Christmas poops

I got my Christmas present when my oldest cat Kali did three big, loose poops on Christmas Eve... and continued to poop and eventually have diarrhea all evening. So it's the classic case again, be careful what you wish for. And swamp there, waddle here, etc. Apparently, even smaller amount of laxative would be enough for Kali. The general guideline for cats is 0.5 ml of PEG per kilogram of body weight every other day.

I should still find an anti-kidney insufficiency agent for Kali quite quickly, preferably one she would take voluntarily. I had ordered Easypill Renal in treat form from Zooplus, but both Kali and Olivia refused to eat it. Why on earth would treats be liked by cats?

I would like to try Ipakitine, which was fine for Olivia, but caused her diarrhea due to the lactose it contains. Another option is liquid Pronefra, of which I had one opened small and two unopened large bottles, all of them expired because Olivia said no. D'oh. I tried Renata, it really didn't work for Kali either and I'm not surprised at all, it smells bad. Surprisingly, Kali has volunteered a couple of times to take WeNefro, mixed with soup-wet food broth. For Olivia, I use Porus One, but I'm not really convinced of its effectiveness when it's so different from other similar substances.

 

I should also find some (grain-free) and preferably a small kibble kidney dry food that Kali would like. After all, none of them have worked for Olivia since the beginning. And Kali doesn't eat much wet food, so dry food is more important. I have now mixed Animonda Integra protect neral with Orijen kitten, and it has worked well for both.

I feel guilt that Kali's renal insufficiency wasn't detected earlier. I had been thinking for years that it would be good to take blood tests of a senior cat from Kali. Kali went to the vet last year, but no blood tests were taken. Should have realized to ask for them myself.

We'll see when Kali stops eating again. It's scary what happens when the two-week course of Mirataz ends.

 

Fortunately, Olivia had a better phase when Kali was sick. Earlier, Olivia's situation seemed bad when even Kaopekt no longer seemed to help her diarrhea. But then something strange happened. Olivia was without diarrhea medicine for many days and did not have diarrhea. On the contrary, the longer the diarrhea medicine wasn't given, the firmer the stool was. Honestly, there doesn't seem to be any logic in its diarrhea anymore. Can't understand. But after about a week without diarrhea medication, the completely liquid diarrhea came back again. Even after that, it has been a bit like that Kaopekt helps better when given less frequently.

Olivia should be taken to the vet, but I can't know which local vet would actually do something about it. They should investigate what is causing the diarrhea. And at least one thing that should be done to examine it is to examine its excrement. They should also find out if it has any bacteria. The previous vet didn't examine anything and gave up. A pointless trip to the vet without anything really being examined or really getting any help is the last thing I want in this situation. But when it is known that Olivia has chronic kidney disease and there is also something wrong with her liver, is there any hope that her diarrhea could ever be cured?

 

 

Fortunately, I was doing quite well myself when Kali was sick. Earlier in December, I was in bad shape for a week. The pains started from the chin and below it, between the chin and neck. They also spread to the face. Actually, when I held my hand against my cheek for a few seconds, it caused severe pain in my cheek for a long time. Then a horrible inflamed feeling spread over almost the whole body. Then endometriosis pain, joint pain, nausea, neck pain. But what confused me the most was the inflamed feeling under my chin. I can't tell what caused it. There was really no fever, I took my temperature for fun one evening and it was 35.7. Before, I was troubled by "just" bad endometriosis pains, and I didn't even go outside for probably more than a couple of weeks.

And as for that Christmas, it was a rare Christmas-less Christmas, even by my standards. No listening to Christmas carols, I watched my traditional Christmas movie Home Alone 2 for less than half an hour, no board games, not even an elf hat. I bought myself a Casino online lottery as a gift, as I usually buy myself a lottery on my birthday and Christmas. I won 10 euros with a bet of 6 euros, which is not enough to celebrate the New Year!

 

Christmas miracle?

It's hard to have to wake up before 11:30 am on Christmas Eve to watch The Snowman and the declaration of Christmas peace. And then to make rice porridge without rice...

We were supposed to place a pre-Christmas food order from Prisma, but suddenly all the home delivery times were gone. I had looked at the situation a couple of days before, but it wasn't enough. The main reason why this happened was my spouse's work trip. I'm surprised that anyone even orders from Prisma when the home delivery fee is 20 euros. It took me a while before I realized what will be the worst lack when the Prisma order is missed: Frozen carrots from certain brand. I just can't stand peeling and chopping fresh carrots anymore. Well, fortunately, now is the rosolli time of the year.

 

So I had to order from Citymarket. Just when I was complaining that I haven't bothered to buy the traditional cheese variety pack because it hasn't been on offer, it came on offer, so I got my Christmas cheese. This time I didn't even dream of baking a (small) ham, I just looked at the finished Christmas ham slices. In the last couple of years, they have been quite edible. And even though it seemed bad at first, I finally got some chocolate candies when Red's sugar-free candies came on sale at Citymarket.

 

 

I started eating Christmas food, i.e. slices of ham, rosolli and mayonnaise already on Thursday. I calculated that the food is enough for six days, that is, it will run out on Boxing day.

I haven't bought a single Christmas present again. Because of my income, I didn't even participate in grandma's gift, it's really embarrassing. And even this Christmas I won't go to my mother's because of covid, obviously I'm a terrible daughter. Recently, a large part of the family has been sick with covid again.

Due to Kali's situation, it has been difficult to focus on anything, so this week I have mostly been playing games. Snow appeared early this time in Red Dead Online. I found out about it by chance on December 8, I don't know how much snow time I missed. Although, I haven't been able to be terribly interested anymore.

This christmas I wish for only one present. That Kali eats and poops. 

 

 

I got my Christmas miracle when Kali started eating on Friday night. I really wanted to cry with happiness. And that night, for the first time this week, she came to its favorite place, lying on top of me. During her illness, she only hung out in unusual places, probably desperately looking for a place where she would feel better. Yesterday it was also wonderful when Kali willingly ate her PEG constipation medicine when I added the broth of the soup wet food to it. I hope this trend continues.
