Over the last two nights I have had my dreams interacting directly with my "waking" life.

For example... I seem to have developed (potentially) toenail fungus on my big toenail. There's a off-white spot on my right toe. I did some research and found tea-tree oil is a suitable way to combat the fungus. So I took a cotton swab and applied liberally on the spot.

Later that night, characters in my dream were curious what I was doing from earlier in the day. "What are you doing to your toe?" they asked. I didn't realize how unique it was until after I woke up. In the dream I just answered, "applying tea tree oil to help fight toenail fungus."

But when I woke up I thought, how curious... Characters from my dreams are asking me about details from my waking life. It made me question whether or not this life we call "wake" is also a dream.

...As a side note- I have a stress fracture on my right foot. My 60 lbs dog stepped on it in a way that his claws dug into my foot between my big toe and second toe and cracking something near the ball of the foot. It has been over a month and the pain has subsided, but it is still there- making certain exercises a little difficult.

Well in last nights dream, aside from being the subject of a strange experiment- I received medical attention on my foot.

Interestingly enough, the pain feels less as of this morning. Still there, a little bit.

But usually when I wake it up there is a screaming pain for the first few seconds. Not this morning.

So for two nights in a row the "awake world" and "dream world" have become more clearly connected to each other where actions and inquiries made in the place we call reality carry over in the dream world. Maybe meditation is keeping my ability to be present in both worlds alive or is strengthening the abilities of the "observer." It seems like maybe I'm awake in both worlds.
