   Justisaur to All   
   Cheese Octopuses 12/21/2023

   From: justisaur@yahoo.com   
      
   Here's a small bit I remember from last night.   
      
   A pool of some sort of saturated azure blue transparent semi-liquid that   
   brings to mind not fully set jello. I can't see the edges or bottom of,   
   but it feels like it's in a pan or something similar and either I'm   
   moving it kind of like tossing food in a wok, only more gently, or it's   
   just moving on it's own, it looks like gentle waves on a calm sea. I can   
   tell it's jelly-like as it's moving with lumps more slowly than water would.   
      
   My hands come into view with some oddly shaved and slivered bits of   
   cheddar cheese slightly wider than my palm.  I drop them in the liquid   
   accidentally and intake air as if surprised by something.  As they hit   
   the liquid they sizzle and sink as if in a fryer, as they do so they a   
   few form into little orange octopi with perfectly round heads with   
   markings like this upside down .-. to make faces.  The arms are about   
   halfway between an octopus and a cheese splatter. While smaller bits   
   just look like bits of fried cheese.  The octopuses start swimming   
   around lazily as octopuses do.   
      
   I awake.   
      
   Notes on interpretations - the faces come from something I saw on   
   stink-bug eggs.  My wife's been showing me various videos of octopuses   
   of small about equal size.  My father-in law took my son to Squeeze   
   Burger who makes burgers frying the cheddar cheese, perhaps my favorite   
   burger place and I had missed it!  I'm not sure about the jelly bit -   
   but I did watch "Silver" on Prime last night which had some strange   
   ocean & water dream scenes that might account for that.   
      
   It seems to be mostly a bunch of useless facts I find interesting,   
   perhaps just being written to long term memory, along with my longing   
   for a burger.  I do have a penchant for useless interesting facts.   
      
   "Silver" is an interesting dream-walking/horror (non-gore/non-monster)   
   film and might be of interest to the readers of this group.
