Losing my mind

(reposting, was lost in web host transfer)

I just remembered a dream I had last night.

In the dream, I felt something in my ear, so I got hold of it and slowly began to pull. It was something cylindrical, a little squishy, looking like a smooth caterpillar-type thing, but durable. I figured this was certainly not something I wanted in my ear, so I pulled it some more, and some more, and rather than reaching the end, it just kept coming.

And then I noticed it was a greyish color, and in my mind I thought grey matter, and then I realized it was my brain.

As though the brain were wrinkled because it was really a big knot of one thick, noodle-like strand, and I had just pulled out a large amount of it.

I realized that there was no way to put it back because it was too soft to push and I couldn’t have pulled it back in from the inside, so I remember hoping the part I’d pulled out wasn’t important, and I remember paying attention to my thoughts to be sure they were still working right.

I’m disturbed. :/
