Shower thoughts

Do they farm sponges effectively enough now not to feel environmentalist guilt for my bath sponge half the size of my head?

I'm sure it's real. It has irregular large holes, very regular tiny holes, and that 'RARR, I'm someone's skeleton!' feeling. It's the best scrubber I've ever had, but I was brainwashed by Ranger Rick, so if they're still deforesting natural sponge beds for Wal-Mart, I'll find something else when this one wears out.

Strange dreams

I used to have really coherent dreams. They weren't on the enviable level of having recurrent plots or characters, and I almost never got preexisting fictional characters, which is ironic given how much I daydream about them, but they were DETAILED.

I've been missing them for over a year now. It used to be that losing my coherent dreams was a sign of really poor mental health, but I've been maintaining really well, and not feeling any of the mind-numbing depression that used to fuzz them out. Plus that usually made me not remember any dreams at all.

This is more like my old and very rare fever dreams, where no detail stands out enough to even tell people a dream was about something. It's more like I spend the whole night trying to remember things I've thought of because they're very important and then I wake up and it's all just air. It's not very restful, and I always wake up feeling like I'm missing something important.

Right now "Love me two times" is in my head because it sounds a lot like a song I heard on the radio in my sleep. I dreamed writing down as many lyrics as I could make out, so I could google them later. (I could only make out fragments.) I can see the shape of the words on the page, which I'd been writing a lot of other lyrics on. That's the clearest dream image I've remembered in weeks.

Am I just stressed or is it possible I've "grown out of" my cool dreams? That would make me sad.

Strange Dreams: The Poll

It's a touch long, so I put it behind a cut tag, but it's rather complete. Just four questions and an optional fill-in-the-box, and you can skip any you're bored with as usual. I just realized once I started writing how many options there were.
