Trial and Error

(a dream from a few years back don't exactly remember when)

It started with me walking in an unidentifiable area when a random guy walked by and said something along the lines of "what is that under your shirt" I look down to see a lump under my right arm. I lift up my shirt to see that there is a small undeveloped third arm (about 2min long) growing out of my side.

While at first it creeped me out, I was soon trying to see if I could move it. It was hard and awkward, (like writing with my left hand). After a little while I was able to reach into my pocket and take out my pocket watch (which I actually had at the time in real life). But I was becoming frustrated because it was so hard to move it the way I wanted.

I have the thought that since the arm was new that it was just a baby arm or something, and that if it grew I would be able to control it. Another random passerby suggested that I electrocute my arm to stimulate the cells into growing.

I began to carry around jumper cables and shock it every 10min or so.

By the end of the dream it had grown passed the elbow of my right arm and I had full control of it.

That was when I woke up.
There was more to the dream that I did not remember involving a train and Skexies from the Dark Crystal. But after awakening I could not connect the ideas.

After I woke up I felt it like a phantom limb for nearly 2hrs.
