Last night I was still sick from my stomach bug but I managed to have some homemade dinner and I ate the Chinese medicine that I got from the local doctor (this town has a fully modern medical facility depite their being only 1700 people here where it always only costs 10 dollars to go, get checked, and get medicine). Something must've had a bad reaction (or weird reaction) because I ended up having a walking nightmare on my way to bed.
For some reason many of my bad dreams have mathematical equations in them, but not in the direct sense. I wonder if others know what I am talking about? There is the feeling of some sort of figuring out a very difficult equation, or the feeling of some sort of concrete limitation that turns the dream sour. No matter how many calculations are done the equation is never solved, and if solved the consequences are not good. Solving means the definition of limitations, a very scary thing if you ask the nightmare-experiencing side of me. And last night that was me, on my way from my middle, hang-out room to the bedroom I was very hot and frustrated and felt the most extreme sense of tragedy that I can only get from these troubling equational feelings.
It sounds far-fetched, perhaps a little insane. Good thing those are rare moments and my everyday life is much more bright and light. Now I feel I am almost better from my stomach bug and I hope to go say hi to my students. I hope you all are well!

Teddy, that sounds absolutely awful! One time when I was in high school and I had a really high fever I experienced parallelogramophobia for an few hours. I became freaked out by any squares or rectangles in my house. And, since my house was in essence a large cube, one can only imagine how horrifyied I was.
I musta been taking geometry or something at the time, because I havent had such nightmarish experiences since.
I am glad you feel better. I know all-too-well how much is sucks to be alone, sick, cold, and in Japan.
Sorry to make you wait! I'm working on an update, it should be ready soon.
Good luck with the stomach bug!
