A little bit of dementia this time: I couldn't break out of a cycle. I saw an endless list of amino acid positions of Apc (the protein I study) with their corresponding function. I would scroll through the list and would discard uninteresting mutants that would come up every so often that our lab had apparently generated. But it wasn't fully a dream, I was lying there in bed looking at my room, and the list hallucinatorily overlaid everything else. I actually got up and went to the bathroom at one point and told myself over and over again that I needed to ignore the list, that it wasn't real, and that I wasting my time. But when I went back to bed, there it was again. But there's an upside: when I woke up in the morning I realized just how interesting such a list would be. I'll make one today.

Later I dreamt that we lived in a modern house, with a kitchen that had an open counter overlooking the living room. The countertop was black marble, offsetting the white rooms and complementing the black couches. People were gathered around on the couches for some event or other, but I didn't want to stay. I don't remember any more than that.
