one sheep, two sheep...

Went to bed at normal time [11pm-ish], read for a while, then fell sound asleep. Had a weird sci-fi dream about a team of us having to be away working on-site for a while; when we came back, we found that ants had gotten into the facilities. Following the trail of ants, we found a stream of increasingly larger insects, all moving towards one specific place. All the bugs were carrying fruit, finally handing it up to other "helper" bugs at a central point; the helpers then handed the fruit behind a corner to something. We realized that they were making offerings to some much bigger, much more powerful, mafia-like godfather bug....I woke up just as we were debating just what kind of creature was hiding in the darkness that would engender this amount of devotion from other insects, and how the heck we were going to deal with it and get it out of our living quarters. It was one of those "story" dreams, the ones where you are simply being entertained, not really involved; no personal emotions being invoked, no scariness or drama, just a mental movie happening behind your eyes.

And now, for some reason, I am awake at 3:30a and can't get back to sleep. Hurrah for the internet [or, in l33t speak: teh intraweb]...
