i had a dream

Last time I had a dream that was so upsetting I can't stop thinking about it today.

In the dream, I still had my tongue ring. I touched the ring and it felt really furry. It confused me. I grabbed a piece of (what I thought was fur) and started pulling. Big, long strands of my hair started unraveling. Not the hair on my head, this was the hair from my head wrapped around the post of my tongue ring. I gagged. I pulled. More hair came off. I pulled and pulled while more and more hair unraveled off my tongue ring. There were literally hand fulls of it and it was wavy and curly from being wrapped so tightly around the post in my tongue ring.

I remember waking up really upset with tears on my cheeks. The first thing I did was stick out my tongue and feel for the ring. When I felt the hole where the ring used to be I remembered that I hadn't had a tongue ring in years; since 2007 actually.

All day today I am feeling tired and disoriented. My dream is haunting me. The feel of the hair on the post, the tension of the hair as I pulled on it, the way the post spun through my tongue as I tugged the hair - and afterward, the hand fulls of hair.

Frustrated, over my lunch break, I searched dream dictionaries for "hair" clues. I found:
Bald Hair
Comb Hair
Knotted Hair
Hair Cut
Styling Hair
Smelling Hair (?? lol)
Losing your Hair
Hairpiece
Long Hair
Rocking Chair (because chair has the word hair?)
Salon
Shampoo
Hairdresser
White Hair
Haircut
Brunette
Pubic Hair (hahahaha)
Dreadlocks

But nothing on the topic of pulling hair out of one's mouth. So I switched tactics and started looking up "Mouth" wherein I found "To see a mouth in your dream signifies your need to express yourself or talk about an issue that's bothering you."

Huh. Go figure.

Upon reflection, what I really want to express is this:

Try reading this and applying it for you. You know who you are. In the meantime, I will keep praying that God will help us find common ground for the only person who matters the most.
