Topic: Anomalous Markings
I wasn't able to find a thread on this topic so if I missed one someone please point me in the right direction.
I'll try to make a long story short here...
I discovered some odd marks on my left inner thigh and hip while I was in the tub last night. There are five in a row descending in a slightly diagonal direction along the inseam that are spaced approximately half an inch apart except for the last one, which is about an inch and a half further down from the rest. Then there are three on my hip in a triangle pattern; two right on top of my hip bone about a quarter of an inch apart from each other that are set above a third one that is about an inch below and in between the two. They all look like large hives...big bright red bumps. There's a burning/itchy sensation if something rubs against them, otherwise I can't feel them at all. I think they've been there since Sunday because I felt something (like stinging nettles?) while I was trying on jeans that afternoon but wrote it off as the starch or whatever-it-is they use on new clothes.
Also, I had an unusual dream Saturday night about being in a...I don't want to say facility, but that's the best word to describe it. I came out of a meeting in a boardroom and took a good look around because I didn't recognize the place. I found myself in a long, green, circular hallway with brown doors all along the walls on either side. Then I saw this medium-dog-sized skunk come trundling out of one of the rooms and watched as it made its way down the the hall. It was wearing a saddle. After that I thought, "Hmph...must be running some sort of experiments here. It's like a spaceship!" (I'm laughing as I write this, it sounds so ridiculous).
A couple other things...the hard drive fried on my laptop yesterday and my car stalled on me that same Saturday night before I had the dream. Both occurred without good reason as far as I know.
I dunno. Taken individually all these things seem relatively mundane but add them all up and the whole almost becomes more than the sum of the parts. So I guess my questions are: Has anyone else ever had or heard of marks like these? What could explain them physiologically? Has anyone else had any weird/similar experiences the past few days...or ever, for that matter?
Any constructive feedback would be appreciated.
