There are all kinds of reasons to have weird dreams on a ship: imminent travel, moderate drama, the rocking of the ship, sleeping in a room that’s been occupied by a rotating population of people since it was built ten years ago… The other night I had a dream about being trapped in a cave, and when I woke up, I found that the air conditioning was off for some kind of maintenance work. It was a hot, smelly morning in my hallway.

I’ve been having weird dreams for about a week. This is just the dream I felt like writing down.
