I've had this one twice now, in two days. FU, recurring dreams.

So, the dream starts with flaking lips. And then the skin peels off, until I have a thumb-sized hole in my cheek. I can see the muscles and ligaments inside, and they look rather like this. All separated and preserved-looking. And I'm trying to reconnect a tendon with q-tips, because it burns so bad when I use my fingers. In the old bathroom, the one we tore out when we remodeled 5 years ago. I can tell because the mirror's so low I have to stoop. And then the skin on the inside of my mouth starts to come apart until my cheek looks more like this, and it keeps growing, the gap spreading back along my jaw. And I can't see out of that eye. I try to show Mom, but she just focuses on the raw spot on the other side of my mouth and tells me it doesn't look so bad, and if I'm that worried, I should make an appointment with the free clinic in the morning, but I'll have to drive myself because she'll be at work. But I can't see, and I can feel it getting worse and worse and she just won't see so I crawl back into bed and curl up to cry and wake up with my face sore and my mouth raw.

I'm trying to come up with something comforting, but all I can think of is that you need some lip balm and a moisturizing face lotion. Maybe you're managing to lie in such a way that your face falls asleep on one side, and you can't see because you've opened your eyes in your sleep and only see the dark room.

Dreams are often stupid, huh. Oh well, it'll help you write horror films. Sleep better soon!
