The dream features people from work. We're assigned to groups and have to perform surgery on each other. My group is me, and three of the RN's i work with or used to work with. CathyS, WendyA, and ??
We're taken to a dank, dark room with cement floors and big wooden tables. The tables remind me of the school desks from elementary school. Beat up and dented but extremely solid. So our task is to remove tissue from the breasts and abdomen, then we'll examine the tissue microscopically. I get sidetracked by something and when i come back to the surgical "suite" Wendy is saying she'll be first. Cathy is running the show. Who IS that other person? Cathy has her fill the syringe with the anesthetic and says "We've already given her an injection but she's still awake so give her another." I tell her i'm not scrubbed and she points to the sink and the sterile gloves and i get scrubbed. At the table, i cut into Wendy's chest and remove her breasts. Cathy and ?? have already taken the flesh from her abdomen. We finish up and send the tissue to be processed. We feel pretty good about our work.
It's the next day now and i catch up to Wendy and Cathy entering the ?hospital. I ask Wendy how she's doing and she points to her now flat chest and says "GREAT!" and i can see that she's not wearing a bra and i'm kind of jealous and say "I can't wait to get mine off!"
We're back in the surgical suite and apparently i'm going on the table this time. I begin to get nervous and have second thoughts about have my boobs removed. Plus i'm concerned that when they open my abdomen they might accidentally hurt my kidneys. I ask if they would take pictures of my open abdomen and Wendy says it's probably not a good idea and i see her point. I'm feeling a little bit panicky because i'm sure there will be complications until i remember we didn't actually open up Wendy's ab we just took flesh from outside the peritoneum.
That's all i remember. Icky dream.
