Skull Hole

Date: 8/22/2018

I went to sleep in a dream version of my parents old house on pepper tree lane. When I woke up, was a huge chunk of my skull missing, on the right side. It was not painful, but the exposed grey matter began oozing various fluids. I spent a while trying to figure out what to do about it. When my parents got home, they came in through the back door after some kind of errand. They did the calm concern thing, v analytical, talking to each other. Mom: “But how would it have happened? You say you felt fine when you went to sleep?” Dad: “He’s losing a lot of brain fluid.” (Mom nods concernedly) I think my brother was there but only in the background. As I answered, my speech started to get more jumbled and confused. We decided I should go to the hospital to get checked out. I was having trouble packing a bag with books, had trouble finding the iPad charger, then lost the bag itself, and was running around trying to finish the task when I woke up.
