Head Over Heels and Water Tigers

Morning of September 8, 1976. Wednesday.

I have not been in school yet in real life because of having been operated on regarding the odd multiple cysts on my right hand. This newspaper page with the entry was after my dream on the same day; relative to precognition or the very common somewhat trivial precognitive synchronicity - or whatever it is - but I have lived with it day to day since earliest memory. I also have just made a note after all these years that I had spelt "heels" in the title as "heals" and no one had ever noticed (that I know of) in real life since that time. There are probably thousands of such "revelatory typos" in my original journals. Due to the sheer volume of my work, I doubt I would ever find a fraction of them.

For some reason, I am doing continuous multiple somersaults in my front yard in Cubitis (doing somersaults was recurring during this period and was quite rare otherwise throughout my life - could have had something to do with the extreme pain in my right thumb and wrist and trying to "escape" it in-dream even though it was absent from most dreams). There is an actual roofed bus stop shelter with a bench and glass walls in front of Karen S's house. To get there, I do somersaults all the way over, at least fifteen or so, even across the highway. (This was an area I needed to wait for the school bus in the morning in real life but not every year - sometimes the stop was at my driveway; another year, the next-door neighbor's to the south.) Later on, it seems to be "normal" to walk on ones hands which I attempt for a short time. Not many people are around.

Later, I seem to be at a version of sister Claudia's house where I had not been since I was a younger child in the first part of 1967. There is some sort of flood which oddly seems to be of different storeys. That is, the downstairs is flooded and the top floor is also flooded, but only from the level of the second floor as different from the flood downstairs but about the same depth. (In reality, the water would have just flowed down the steps.)

There is also something about buying chewing tobacco at what otherwise looks like an outdoor magazine (vendor) stand (which I never did in reality) and something about the product (Beechnut, I think) always being featured on the cover of "Outdoor Life" magazine, which is not true at all in reality, of course.

The main part of my dream features tigers coming up from the water, both in Claudia's house (upstairs as well) and in the front yard of my Cubitis home, which is now flooded to about shoulder-high. I am aware that they are some kind of fictional aquatic tiger (perhaps with webbed paws and barely visible gills) although they look no different from normal tigers for the most part. I see about three or four rise from the water in different areas at any given time. This makes waiting at the bus stop somewhat problematic, although I sense it is the weekend and there would be no school anyway, which seems to justify being not all that concerned about it - though it is not the weekend in reality and I am missing school, which would have been the start of 10th grade on the 7th the day before. There are no dominant emotions relative to fear, though.

An additional play could relate to feeling "clawed" (both in the scars on my wrists and right thumb and the fact that claws are on the "paws"/hands), which is also a play on my first name. It also may explain the association with Claudia ("Claw"-dia). I can even reach somewhat illogically to associate "tigers" with "ties" (relative to school responsibilities) - which is quite a stretch even for me.
