Thirteen hours of sleep last night. Thirteen. I really need to force myself out of bed, because this is just unacceptable, especially now that I am sleeping for more than 6 hours a night (day, really) after work. Though it did give me one of the most bizarre and random dreams I had had in a while.

The first portion of it was a standard "oh shit, it's exam time" where I was worried about my grades, but the day before the last day of my exams I couldn't remember what exams I had left, and in the process of finding this out I found that I had not been taking one of my classes, and hadn't noticed until the end of the semester. It's a bit early for me to be having these anxious about school dreams, so it was a bit more frustrating than it sounds.

The second portion is where things got weird, a third person dream (which are always nice, not having to personally feel the drama) where I was watching a family of five, two older daughters and a younger son. The father was an overprotective lawyer who ruled with an iron fist over his household, his wife absolutely hated him but could never consciously show it (though she did so quite a lot unconsciously) and constantly punished herself whenever she felt she had crossed him. The character the dream focused on the most was the oldest daughter, a high school, fairly attractive, and her constant struggle to act somewhat rebelliously. It went through a couple days of their life, eventually ending up with a scene at the fathers high-rise lawyers office where he was getting the beat down by a client who disliked how he lawyers things and was threatening to go to another firm. He responded to this by breaking open his shirt with his pecs, and then shooting the client in the face. All this while the James Bond music played in the background. Turns out that the lawyer was James Bond, and the client was a terrorist. At this point I believe my mind became so confused it had me go help one of the kids I knew from high school dig up watermelons from underneath a pile of carpet (where they had grown), at the top of a 100 foot tall tower.

I'm sure it all has some sort of symbolism.

Ah, the James Bond fights a terrorist dream was one Freud discussed for lengths in one of his earlier works on dream therapy, and Jung talks about carpet-melon picking in great detail as well.

Based on your descriptions, I'd say you want to kill your father and sleep with your mother...or the watermelon...
