I've been having a minor problem with my left eye for some months now: the inside corner of it is intermittently bloodshot. I believe it rubs against my bedsheets at night, since I usually sleep sprawled on my face. I've started wearing an eyepatch to bed, and when I remember to do so -- no problem.

Last night, I had a dream that my eye had deflated into almost a disk, like a leaky beach ball. It didn't hurt, and I could still see out of it, but when I looked to my right or left, it would tumble end-over-end in my socket, the same way a heart-shaped lollipop spins in your mouth when you twist its stick.

It was bizarre, especially since this was another one of those unusual times when I didn't realize I was dreaming till I woke up. I much preferred the dream of the previous night, when I was guest starring on "NYPD Blue"...
