Fever Induced Dreams

Not this past Friday, but the Friday before, I tested positive for Covid. I feel much better, but I’m still not 100% over it. That Friday night and the following Saturday were the worst of it.

Do you know those cartoons where a character falls down a cliff of very sharp and jagged rocks only to land on the road, get run over by a truck, stand up, and get hit by another car going the opposite direction? Well, I imagine that’s what it felt like. I was in so much pain I could barely move.

That Saturday, I could not get my fever to break, and since pretty much all I did was sleep, I had several fever-induced dreams. Now, my brain often comes up with strange and unusual dreams, but at least this time, I had a fever I could blame for them!

The first dream I recall was going down a 20-foot slide with Henry Cavill. I did not dream about climbing the ladder to get to the top of that slide, but I can imagine I started complaining around the 5-foot mark. Please don’t be disappointed in me, Henry! We were sitting on the slide, I was between his legs, and I couldn’t stop commenting on the size of his thighs. Haha! I mean, have you seen Henry Cavill’s thighs? He’s a big dude!

I remember leaning back into Henry and enjoying the feel of the wind in my hair. We both laughed, and he held onto me the entire ride! I’m pretty sure I woke with a smile on my face. I’m sure it was the fever and nothing else. Haha!

The second dream included another handsome actor, but there was much less physical contact. I was in the kitchen, baking biscuits with Johnny Depp! I actually really want to do this! None of you know him personally, do you?

Johnny, if you read this (cause, ya know, my blog is that popular), will you bake biscuits with me?

We listened to Led Zeppelin while we slung biscuit dough, and I kept sliding around the floor in my sock-clad feet, and Johnny kept throwing flour in my hair. We had the best time!

I had many dreams during my delirious fevered state, including some very x-rated dreams (not including Henry or Johnny) and getting chased by a fire-breathing frog! However, the dream that stands out the most was the one I had about my late mother.

We were sitting on a bench next to a weeping willow, and she grabbed my hand and looked me in the eye. I remember every detail of this dream like it actually happened, perhaps because this one felt the most realistic out of all the dreams. She told me that I was on the right path in life and that things were about to get really, really hard, but I would overcome them like I always do, and the life that is waiting for me on the other side of my trials is far better than anything I could imagine. She told me to keep moving and trusting my instincts, and I woke with another smile on my face; this time, it wasn’t the fever!

Do you have any interesting or inspiring dreams to share? Have you had Covid?

Love & life lessons,

Kristian
