Yep. You read that right. Monday night, I dreamt about a Chinese woman being told she had gonorrhea.
There was more to the dream but I didn’t write it down because I’m not writing right now. Because I wanting to spend some time breathing. But because I’m not writing, and I’m dreaming about Chinese women being told they have gonorrhea and I do not know why, the info is just spinning about in my head all day and nothing is getting done. And now, the dream is nothing more than the memory of a beautiful middle-aged Chinese woman in a dark room with warm wooded walls, dappled sunlight creeping across the shadows of the floor, answering the phone and being told - in Chinese - that she has gonorrhea. And I apparently knew and understood Chinese, which I don’t speak at all. And I could hear both sides of the conversation while I listened from the dark hallway. All that I information knew but I still have no clue why. Why did I know Chinese? I can barely speak English. Why the middle-aged Chinese woman? I live in Nashville. I’m about as ethnic as you can get in my hood. Why the gonorrhea? I don’t have and have never had gonorrhea. Maybe it’s because my water-on-the-knee is swollen because I’ve been weeding and munching and climbing the hill that is our driveway and it now looks like I’ve got a rather large nose or very small head protruding from my knee. And maybe it’s because my friend, who is a nurse, once told me that she had a patient that had gonorrhea in her knee. And maybe it’s because I was so horrified to learn that because it’s bad enough to get gonorrhea in your hoo hee but in your knee? Like “Where was she putting that knee?” I said. Joking. But not really. Because I know from watching the British show ‘Embarrassing Bodies’ years ago, that gonorrhea gets into in your blood stream because they showed someone who had it in their eye!!! But how funny/weird/awkward would it be to have an STD in your knee and have to explain it to people. Like, “Yeah, I have an STD. in my knee.” And they’d be all “How did you get an STD in your knee?” And you’d be all “Don’t you know that sexual position, the one that requires you use a knee? It feels great – until it doesn’t.” I feel I should be really, really, clear here and reiterate I do not have an STD, gonorrhea or otherwise. But apparently I’m dreaming about hearing about someone having gonorrhea and I don’t know why. Because the Chinese woman didn’t have gonorrhea in her knee. And neither do I. Not that it was a possibility that I would. I’m just saying… Heck, no idea what I’m saying. No idea what I’m dreaming. No idea what I'm doing... I do know how to spell gonorrhea by heart now. So there’s that. Also, miss me?
