J-Pouch Dream 1: The Wolves
January 31, 2009*This was my first j-pouch dream. The ostomy dreams are over and now my body sends me different messages at night to get me to wake up.
I woke up in the middle of the night and emptied my j-pouch. I was at home and had been up several times during the night. I walked into the kitchen to get a drink of water when I looked out the patio door and saw two wolves. Even though it was the middle of the night it was fairly bright out. The wolves were black, the size of horses.
Fresh snow covered the ground. Near the trees and bushes were mats of dead, wet leaves, which the wolves readily ate. I opened the patio door and stepped outside, watching them.
The wolves climbed onto the deck and looked at me, cautiously. Slowly I went back inside.
I was utterly amazed that I found these wolves patrolling the backyard in the middle of the night. I thought to myself, “Because of my j-pouch, I’m the only one who gets up several times a night to go to the bathroom. I might as well use this time getting up to do something productive.”
I made a plan to look for these wolves every time I got up. I planned on recording them with my camera and feeding them sausage. My goal was to make friends with them so that one day I could pet them.
And then I woke up and had to empty my j-pouch.
