Apologies for the odd title but I can't really think of anything else more suitable.

Over the last week or so I've had two dreams that may or may not be connected. To me they seem connected in some way but what do I know.

I'm not trying to complicate things at this point but it's better for me to give the dreams in reverse order. It somehow seems to make more sense, if indeed it makes any at all.

Most recently, I had a dream where I cut my arm in a quite innocent manner. In the way that maybe a child might test the strength of the skin of their thumb with a pin and then draw back at the last minute, in order to avoid injury or real pain. I seem to remember simply drawing a sharp object across the skin of my forearm and then getting involved in other things around me. Not entirely sure about the other aspects of the dream at this point, but then I noticed that the skin of my arm was cut into a kind of band, a ribbon even, that was separated from the skin of the hand and the skin of the upper arm. The upper arm here ended just below the elbow. The cuts at the top and bottom of the ribbon of skin revealed that the cut was very deep to the point where the skin from the ribbon could be moved to the skin at either of the other two areas of more stable and fixed skin. In order to fix this most disturbing accidental damage I simply pushed the skin together, over the gaps, so one layer was on top of another. This seem to stablise the situation. I think other more mundane things happened after this incident but then I woke up. Not often I remember dreams but this has really stuck with me.

After writing the above and then reading it through I think it best to keep the earlier dream to myself for now. It just seems a lot to look at at first.

Thanks to anyone who has a clue what this may mean.
