jcsbimp01I dreamed of an appointment for a sort of dental surgery. I sat in the room and chair that has occurred in several dreams of surgical procedures that I have had now, and I was having a row of teeth and jaw bone from the lower right side of my face replaced. It was an outpatient procedure, and the doctor who looked just a little, not a lot, like the Paul Reiser character in Stranger Things 2 had already removed the old teeth and bone and was showing me the surgical/dental implant that would be going in, now that I was awake from the initial anesthesia. It almost looked like a dinosaur robot bone, partially shiny and silvery, with the teeth sharp and monstrous. But I did not seem to object to the implant, and so he slid it into place as it had been manufactured to fit.
I was then free to go! And my awareness of the new teeth and gum just vanished from the story line as I walked outside to look for a bus that would take me to work. The medical office was across the street from a long, urban oval of buildings that was a kind of island shaped like the eye of a needle in a place where a highway split around it. I had to go to catch a bus on the other side of the oval of buildings, and so I crossed the street when I could. Immediately a good friend - tall, with sandy hair, but I'm not sure that it was anybody I know in real life - came up to me and was happy to walk with me around the oval to where we could both meet a bus to work. We worked our way around to the other part of the highway split just as a bus, Greyhound blue, was pulling up. My friend noticed it before I did, told me, "There's our bus!" or something like that, and sprinted toward it. Traffic and the fact that the bus was still moving slowly kept me from boarding at the same time. He disappeared in the accordion doors and the bus zoomed away. I would need to wait for the next bus. It was then that I realized that I had not even let my office know that I was going to be late, or that I had had the dental/surgical appointment. The dream ended at that point.
