I've had some odd dreams lately (they feel like they're in the "morning" before I wake up but who knows!) and I've interpreted them by relating them to Stuff that's going on...?

In one, a family member let me know they were changing their chosen pronouns and then showed up with a padded bra to, like, confirm this choice.  For me, the dream was more about them not being happy in life and maybe not true to themselves than their actual sexual orientation or gender.  And no, I won't mention any of this to that person, I don't think they'd "get" it...

The other was me going through a Heart operation, like a full on open heart surgery and it was to replace my heart.  I woke up from the surgery and had no pain (woot!) but had the surgical staples all up my entire front, and I got to see my old heart and it turns out it was see through and had staples too.  The nurses and doctors kept telling me how well I was doing and I just kept worrying that I should be in more pain and maybe I had a pill addiction?  But they were so happy I was so "good" post surgery.  I think that one has something to do with my heart hurting, like being sad or uncertain more than being about illness.  So like a metaphorical heart transplant.

So yeah, dreams can be weird but I usually figure they're the brain trying to sort out... stuff.
