hair dreams

so first a word about dreams: i don't usually remember mine. so that's a mark of how strange this is: the last 3 nights in a row, i have not only had a similar, recurring dream, but i've remembered it. i'm embarassed that this is the dream i remember. it's about my hair. in the dream, i'm walking around seattle and people keep coming up to me and telling me how long my hair is getting, and what they think about it. (so far opinion is about evenly divided: some of my dream interlocutors like my hair longer and some preferred it short.)

WTF???

yes, in real life i am growing my hair out. a few people have commented on it lately, but because it's shorter than it was the last time they saw me (these are people i haven't seen for several months, before i left for california and obviously before i cut my hair all off). they usually say something like, "whoa! i didn't recognize you. your hair is short! and there's something else different too...." (yeah, i have red glasses now, and my hair is brown instead of bleach blond.)

life is weird. this is such a petty thing, so why the dream energy?
