good news: i slept almost non-stop for seven hours for the first time in a week

bad news: it happened during daytime

rem news: the most vivid dream in a while. not entirely pleasant. i had to suddenly move across the continent to nyc (coming from either van or sea). my estranged cousin was in it. i packed my stuff into a rental car and got a carrier for my cat. the drive across was short, but rainy. at one point, we got pulled over. in nyc, our apt had a coke addict who was my cousin's friend. but realized my cat wasn't with me and was still out west. my cousin had a grudge w/ someone in nyc in organized crime, & we were chased on a tollway…
