The Uroboric Fingers (T.E.K.’s dream of March 18, 2009)

I dreamt that I was working on a big farm. The farm was my mother’s, but she was sleeping all the time, so I had to take all leadership giving instructions to a huge number of all kinds of workers. There was literary no spear time at all — all work, and then every night a concert of classical music in a big hall on the farm. All the workers were there and I had to be there also. I got more and more angry at not having any time for myself at all, began to feel too pressed.

In one part of the farm there was a big long corridor. I knew my mother was asleep in a room at the far end of this corridor, on the right side. A few meters before this was a washbasin. I washed my hands and dried them with a towel. After that I noticed there was something odd with my fingertips, something I could not get off. I tried to get the stuff off the fingers but did not succeed. This stuff fell from my fingers to the floor and when I looked at it I saw that it took the shape of black snakes crawling. Then when I looked at my fingers I saw similar kind of snakes coming out from the fingertips – falling to the floor. The snakes did not seem to be aggressive, not too big either, about 30-40cm — but I got severely shocked over this predicament.

I knew there was a doctor and a nurse a bit back in the corridor. I run there to get help. To my very big surprise they where not at all impressed over my ‘disease’, nor showing empathy. Just told me to sit down and wait. I tried to compose myself, new snakes coming out from my fingers all the time. Then I looked at the inside of my arm/elbow. There, pressing itself through a blood-vessel, heading towards my fingers, I saw a worm swimming forward in good speed.

I cried out to the doctor asking him if this disease was contagious, thinking about the workers on the farm. The doctor said in a nonchalant manner: Of course not!

I asked him then why I have got it?

He answered: You have been eating apples.
