08/24/2009 Washing your hands is important.

I had a dream about making sure a girl washed her hands on 8/24/2009. It was in a school or university setting. The dream dragged on and I was getting bored. The jist of the long, drawn out discussion was that it is really important right now to wash your hands!

Two insights into this idea. One was the next day (or day after that) there were front page headlines in my local newspaper stating that 50% of us might catch the swine flu. Washing your hands could be very important in the near future. Makes sense. The other insight is that the discussion was between two people in India or some other country. This makes me think that the swine flu might hit a certain race or gender (women) particularly hard.

On September 6th, 2009 I was listening to a podcast while going to a concert and I have to say I was getting a little bored. Guess what? The boring discussion was about how doctor's don't wash their hands enough and if they did not as many people would be getting infections from hospitals, etc.! Pretty interesting, considering my dream 12 days earlier had the same details..."The dream dragged on and I was getting bored. The jist of the long, drawn out discussion was that it is really important right now to wash your hands!" No way I would have ever know that was going to be on the podcast I was listening to called "Super Crunchers" by Ayres (www.randomhouse.com/bantamdell/supercrunchers).
