dreamstuff, bullying/abuse 

bunch of stuff I don't really remember; the one bit I do remember was... I was trying to play an arcade video game, but some guy was bullying me, mostly verbal harassment, the kind of stuff that when I was younger would have sent me fleeing in tears, and nowdays would cause a carefully controlled massive adrenaline reaction. in dreams I usually have huge emotional overreactions to fairly mildly upsetting things.

but instead, I just felt--vaguely annoyed and kind of tired of him. so I gave him a couple of offhandedly mildly insulting responses and ignored him as I went to play the game. he ended up watching over my shoulder and asking me out. I think my response was an incredulous "after all that, you're asking me out? you've got to be fucking kidding."

I suspect that means more than anything that I'm *tired* in my waking life. didn't have the emotional energy to turn into a raptor and maul him, so... meh. still tired. >___<

@green I hope you can get more actual rest now that things are more resolved. I also wish I had dreams in which I got to turn into a dromaeosaur
