the timboucher experience

I had a series of rather bizarre dreams last night with some disturbing imagery. One that I remember in detail is that this young couple who I’d never met before was going to have a baby. For some reason, there was this technique developed, where to tell the sex of the baby, you had a tissue sample taken from the fetus. This sample was then grown in a culture, and when it was done, it was a full-grown adult hand, chopped off at the wrist. And you were supposed to grow it in your refrigerator in this surgical tupperware bin. And you were supposed to look at the hand to tell if it was a male or female hand. The grossest part though was that after that, there was a tradition of the parents eating the hand - I guess to reabsorb the child’s essence back into them. I think there was also some dream which featured a girl who had given herself a home abortion and her father or husband who found out about it. Don’t know if it was the same couple from the other dream. And there was also a dream that took place in a morgue or something. My dreams are usually as weird as this, but not usually so centered around death & birth.
