These are two dreams I had on two consecutive nights. In the first one, there was a toilet that was blocked and then someone told me I should stop throwing plastic bags down it, because that was making it block.
In the other dream, I was walking around a house inserting pins like dress-making pins into my scalp like acupuncture needles. Then later in the dream I start taking them out (most of the dream was actually about taking them out). I walked around the house, running my hands over my head, looking for pins, and there are so many, it's unbelievable, and just when I think I've got them all, I find a new cluster I had weirdly overlooked. And more and more keep appearing. I pull them out, and each one feels good when it come out, like it relieves another little bit of tension and pain. And as I take them out I let them drop on the floor hoping that nobody else will notice. There are some other people milling around the house. I don't really talk to them or engage with them, but I overhear a couple of them finding my discarded pins on the floor and wondering what they are. And I discard them in large numbers. It's hard to do it discreetly. The pins are much thicker than acupuncture needles, and when I pull some of them out I notice how much of the length of them is covered in blood or tiny residue of flesh, indicating they were stuck in very deep (like 2-3cm). And most of the pins in my head seem to be concentrated in the area behind and above my ears, which are areas where in my waking life I typically get my headaches.
