The bed was in this huge open room with tons of other beds and no walls.I didn&#8217;t know why I was there, or what was wrong with me, other than that they were going to operate. There were going to open up my stomach and cut me.<\/p>\n<p>I was so upset, I didn&#8217;t want to have this operation. No one would tell me what was going on, no one would talk to me. I felt fine! I thought that if there was something wrong with me, surgery should be the last, rather than the first, effort to solve the problem.<\/p>\n<p>I was crying and pleading with people as they passed, asking what was happening, demanding to see a doctor, but no one would pay any attention to me.<\/p>\n<p>Finally a nurse stopped, and explained that I had little growths, like plantar&#8217;s warts, on my intestine, and that they were going to remove those parts of my intestine.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But, That sounds very risky! what if they grow back? Or my intestine doesn&#8217;t heal properly!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s ridiculous! This procedure has a 100% success rate&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t believe her. I begged to see a doctor, and she left, exasperated that I was so silly about this perfectly safe procedure.<br \/>\nI just lay down on the bed and cried.<\/p>\n<p>Then I woke up. Freaky. Dreams can be so interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, I have a marvelous book.<\/p>\n<p><em>10,000 Dreams Interpreted<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I will admit, this dream is kind of baffling, but I have found Dream dictionaries (which is what this book really is) to be quite useful for understanding what my subconscious is trying to tell me.<\/p>\n<p>This book is a good resource.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went to visit a hospital for a checkup, but they put me in a gown and gave me a bed.
