Stuff that dreams are made of?

This morning, I had a dream that was not one of my usual, boring anxiety dreams.

I dreamed that my skin was infested with flesh-eating maggoty things. Oddly, the maggoty things looked exactly like caterpillars, and they were pretty, pastel colors--in fact, the colors of the bugs is my strongest memory of the dream. One was baby blue, another was salmon pink, and another a pastel chartreuse like ice-diluted Mountain Dew. I had to pull them out of my arms and legs as soon as their heads emerged, otherwise they would dive back into my body and try to dig deeper.

Then I woke up, itching all over, and having to convince myself that the itches were simply due to normal sweat and cat hair, and not due to subcutaneous bugs.

If any of you have any skill in dream interpretation, have at it!

It's kinda reassuring to know that I wasn't the only one with freaky-scary dreams last night. Though mine had less...itching.

Strangely enough, I wasn't feeling itchy in the dream--just when I woke up (which is probably why I had the darn dream in the first place).

I was awake all night, and what sleep I got today was interrupted by at least three phone calls (one of which I remember)...

None of them were from me. The last time I had time to try to call you while I was awake enough to do so (and not on a plane or something) was on Sunday around midnight EDT. :-(
