tales from an ordinary world

dream: I'm playing (australian) football. It doesn't seem to be a serious match, but all the same I'm getting confused. There's more than one ball, for a start. It's never exactly clear when a particular ball becomes the focus of play. As with most footy games I played as a teenager, I don't see much of the action, but that's okay, because I don't feel like I'm particularly good at it anyway.

During a break in the game, I'm drinking water from a big cardboard cup. I throw it, torpedo-style, to a friend who's some distance away, but I miss. Worse, I think it hit somebody (how much can an empty paper cup do, though ?) - I can see two people carrying somebody off the field, injured. My alarm wakes me up, and my head hurts.
