Thansgiving dreams

I must have eaten too much on Thanksgiving. That night I dreamt that I was sleeping and woken up by my cell phone ringing around 3-4am. The caller ID showed the name of my boss... I was hesitant to pick it up, wondering if he was calling to ask me to go to work (coz they don't have thanksgiving holidays in Finland and it's possible that there's some crisis from there or another site and we had to fix it here, holiday or not... but 3am??)

Then I woke up (from the dream, not in the dream) and checked my cell phone (which is usually beside me) and it was around 5am, but no missed calls. Whew. Back to sleep. Woke up again (in another dream) by cell phone ringing. Ahhhhh.... this time it was 5am in the dream. My boss again. I should answer it, perhaps something was horribly wrong. I started to get really worried.... "Hello?" "Carol.... help..." The line went dead. What the...? What's going on? Help what? Work? Save his life? Save the world?

This time I was awake for good. Scrolled through the list of missed calls on my cell phone again. The most recent one was indeed from him, but that was a few days ago, on a work day, at a decent hour. Just another one of those dreams...

Speaking of saving the world, the next night I had one of those "end of the world" dreams, as I like to call them. (I've had a few of them, all different scenarios...) It was very dark, literally and figuratively (guess I'll save the details for another place). This time, I had some special powers that I could use to save people. But because my powers were limited (starting to sound like a SciFi story now...), I could only save a few at a time, and not quite fast enough, so there were people getting killed. I was really torn between who I needed to save. Cries of help from all around me, pulling me in every direction...

All these just from eating turkey???
