The palm of my right hand had a few tiny circles that looked like I might have been losing some small calluses. After picking at the circles, a thick white pussy substance oozed out. I kept thinking "I need to wash these holes out with a saline solution to make sure all the gunk is out," but I never got around to it. After squeezing out the first three and getting an alarming amount of gunk out, I found a fourth one that had some amazing amount tucked away inside: somewhere around a quarter cup.
Mind you, I only have about 1 - 1/2 cups of flesh in my hand, and in the dream, my hand didn't even look swollen beforehand (no pun intended).
I can figure out where a lot of the ideas came from: I had a calzone last night, thus the pus. While going to pick it up, I heard a fabulous story on the radio about a
parasite that might have killed the majestic Tyrannosaurus Rex. The whole saline solution idea is from getting my wisdom teeth out earlier this year.
I still can't figure out why I keep dreaming about my hand. The first one I remember happened in first grade after watching an episode of Doctor Who. (Turns out it was
The Hand of Fear.)
Tempting as it is to keep going, I'll let you folks go about your business.
