I have been teaching so much that I have become rather obsessed with my work....and its good work...so I love it....but its overwhelming to think about one subject the way I do....Its not just the anatomy that's rocking my world...Its the anatomy in relationship to the new diet lifestyle...I've been reading so much about the medical implications of our diets and the relationship to the body's cellular structure...and ...well I won't bore you with the details of it all...Suffice it to say that the two subjects are so closely linked, that the nature of the way I'm teaching anatomy is changing to incorporate some of what I'm learning and its been a whirlwind.
AND The dreams are crazy. My dreams have been kerrraaazy. Last night in my dream, I seemed to think it was so totally acceptable to wear a great sweater to school. And yes, that's all well and normal, but the problem was, I didn't wear anything.....NUTHIN' on the bottom. A sweater. No skirt. No pannies. NUUTHIN ON THE BOTTOM. And off I go to teach my classes!! See, I ran out of things to wear and somehow, this not wearing anything on the bottom seemed perfectly acceptable....until towards the end of class, I was walking - fully clothed on the top - buck naked on the bottom - I was walking around the class and realized, like I had just taken a bite of an apple in the garden of eden, that I was suddenly self conscious.......(in real life, we've been so extraordinarily busy with school that all of our laundry is dirty, so I'm sure this has some influence in my dream) So that was crazy and I forced myself awake. Good stuff.
Below is a dream I had a few weeks ago and posted on my other blog, but thought you might want to know about that one too. My dream life is rather more intriguing that my waking life...unless you like to talk of cat muscles and student life....

I dreamed about teaching anatomy last night ....that's what I do for a living. I love teaching. Teaching gives me the opportunity to participate in the world I might not otherwise participate in.
I dreamed about teaching and it was strange the way dreams always are in the time and space themes. Sort of what I would imagine it would be like to be on acid - which I've never been on...not because I have anything against acid but because I never had the opportunity and I would have been chicken.
So back to my dream. I dreamed I was teaching my anatomy class and everything was unorganized and I couldn't get the right lighting to show my powerpoint presentation and time was all off and I stepped outside the classroom and it ended up being the hallway of Cal State Long Beach, where I completed my graduate work, and I saw an old classmate and time got away as it always does in dreams and when I stepped back inside the classroom, it was even more chaotic and also someone appeared in the back of the classroom to evaluate me and so I went to check the electrical socket to see if I couldn't find the source of confusion but only ran into a huge network of spider webs and got tangled there and spider bit me and then it was gooey and stuck to my shoulder so fell in a student's lap and while I was there I asked him if he could see a bite and it turned out the spider, big and dangerous looking, was stuck to my skin and he peeled it off for me.....I got up from the student's lap and headed to the front to finish my lecture only to find a large table with leftovers from the luncheon. I stopped to look and the evalutor who seemed serious and critical before jumped up and said "Yes, eat! There's so much left from lunch!" I looked inside a giant pan and saw juicy burgers on white bread buns. There were about 100 of them.
My body doesn't miss the meat but someone in there does. : )
