to extrapolate on what i said about how talking to somebody when they're sleeping can affect their dreams, i woke up this morning to a dream i remembered - i was crying in the dream. sobbing, actually. in the dream, i was remembering and reliving things that had made me cry in my life.
when i woke up, i heard a cat crying in my vent. yes, my vent.
in fact, it's been in there a while, but i'm just figuring that out. i thought it was in the backyard, or crying at my window, but i couldn't find it. when the meowing become yowling, i decided i was hearing alley cats in heat and ignored it. but it always seemed oddly close. it's in the fucking vent. so, i'm now trying to get it out. i've sent the spca an email and hope they have ideas.
i was crying in my sleep because the cat was crying in my bedroom vent, but i can't get it out of there, and it won't stay still long enough to react to it. i think it was in the crackhead's apartment upstairs and has crawled down to my vent. it's only been in my vent the last 24 hours or so but i've been hearing it for weeks.
the dream was offsetting, certainly, but it doesn't have any meaning other than that i was listening to something in distress when i was asleep and it left me in distress too, as it was intended to.
