Why am I still up?

It probably has something to do with sleeping in until an ungodly hour Sunday afternoon (yes I said afternoon- don't judge me dang it!) I have had the weirdest, loneliest weekend that I can remember in recent history. Friday's big events consisted of me watching the movie Speak (It's a Showtime movie based on a young adult book and I liked it) then going to Wal-Mart at 11:00 PM. After I hauled home my unnecessary purchases I started watching Akeelah and the Bee. I was invited by friends to come to their house for the weekend and I should have accepted because I have been cooped up in my apartment all weekend. I feel like I'm practicing on being a shut-in or something- it's a little scary. Anyway- I woke up from a dream/nightmare on Saturday afternoon by my doorbell (a missed package delivery- darn!). I then called up my friend and proceeded to tell her my nightmare (I was still really sleepy- I feel bad now). Hell- I'm going to tell you too!

'In my dream I was in my bathtub (or my parent's - can't remember) and I was looking at my foot and I noticed some sort of odd mark. I thought it was some sort of weird pimple so I tried to pop it and all of a sudden black gunk starts seeping out of it and before I know it a disgusting caterpillar pops out and is in the tub with me. It suddenly grows in size and becomes a massive beast of a caterpillar. The weird thing is it seems to be made of children's craft foam sheets. Whenever I try to grab it, it runs around the bathtub. I finally trap it and it turns into some kind of sheets. With one hand I am holding down the squirming sheets and with the other I find directions for the caterpillar (which I guess I must have bought in egg form for daycare?) and then my dream got messed up because it said that there were 3 of them. I realizied that must mean two more caterpillars to find in my body- Aaaa! I put down the directions and I feel a bump on the back of my shoulder and just as I was popping that one out I woke up to the doorbell. Weird


I of course just looked up the main themes in the dream dictionary

http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionary/

Caterpillars:

To see a caterpillar in your dream, signifies a stage in your own personal growth and development where you are on your way, but have not yet reached your goal. (Fair enough- I can see that even without the aid of a dream dictionary

The whole popping thing means:
To dream that you are popping your pimples, indicates that negative emotions about need to be expressed and acknowledge. Those emotions that you are holding back are on the verge of erupting.

Since it takes place while I'm in the bathtub:
To see or be in a bathtub in your dream, suggests a need for self-renewal and escape from everyday problems. You need to rid yourself of the burdens that you have been carrying. Alternatively, it indicates your mood for love and pursuit of pleasure and relaxation.

When I lay it out like that- it's completely strange that all three of those were together but they make complete sense. I believe that dreams tell us a lot- I just don't analyze every dream. There is a reason I had this dream though- maybe it is for this unique moment of realization. Huh- I really learned something while I was typing this...

Plus- Shia LeBeouf hosted SNL this weekend and was pretty good. Everytime I see him though I remember when my (ex)friend said she liked this boy on the Disney show Even Stevens- this was in 2003 and he has gone from little boy to very young man- it makes me feel sad and old. I liked the Digital Short they had I'll probably post it. I'm starting to get addicted to Jason Sudekis between SNL and 30 Rock.
