seriously, this is proof i'm a nerd
of course the dreams were probably inspired by watching the yes men on sunday night and frontline wednesday night. the one about walmart : is it good for america? after vowing never to shop there again, with overwhelming guilt, andrea and i ended up at walmart last night.
our evening progressed until midnight and after coming home and collapsing into the fresh, clean sheets on my bed, i fell into a deep sleep. i can't wrap my head around the specifics, although i remember snipits. and i know my whole body hurts today.
if production of STUFF continues at current levels and profits continue to rise, enabling the need for more stuff, what happens to all the stuff? where does it go? i dreamed i visited the dump and after an awesome survey, was inspired to try these crazy experiments where i didn't throw anything away. i kept seeing the tofu tray and was trying to clean it properly and use it as some sort of drawer organizer. but then i couldn't figure out what to do with the lid. so oddly enough, i went shopping. it became a challenge to only buy things that i could re-use the packaging or that we could compost. we started eating only raw foods and i saw into the future when i was re-using the same dishsoap bottle over and over to meet the challenge of that weird experiment i set myself up on when i was 30.
i woke up exhausted and my whole body hurts even now. my throat. my chest. my gut. my brain. i know the silly factor is high, but this morning i'm left just feeling panic and fear, or something akin to it. blecht.
