I think I might be getting sick again. I had a night full of freaky dreams. I should preface this by saying that after I saw a rat chasing a squirrel out in the yard, I also heard a small scuffle in the garage as I was walking through there last night. I’m pretty sure I also heard something on the roof. Consequently this was one of my dreams:
I was walking through the garage when I see a black animal dart towards the garage door as it’s rolling up. I can’t make out what it is because it is the weirdest looking thing I’ve ever seen in my life and it’s running away from me. It’s furry and black, has elephant ears and is small. Like the size of a large beagle. It has a long sausage body like a daschund with a long hairless tail like a rat. I turn towards where it seemed to have climbed out of a box. I peer into the box. In it are three labrador puppy faces peering out at me. My heart immediately melts. I pick one up and notice that there are 2 other lab puppies in there, but one is dead. I move the live ones onto the floor and underneath them is a white cat with a white kitten. Again, my heart melts and I pick up the kitten. There are more furry things in the box. One is red/orange (like a fox), three are white and one is black and brown mottled. I think that they are more full grown cats, when one turns to me and it is a GIANT rat. I recoil in horror and feel lightheaded. That’s when I catch sight of a mutant cat-rat that has the top half of it’s body a kitten and the bottom half is one of those horrid giant rats. I scream and wake myself up. I want to shower. I touched yucky things.
I drift back off to sleep. Now it’s parade of the ex-boyfriends. I should say that I have good relationships with all of my exes except one. Him, I feel violent hatred towards. I see red when I run into him. He’s so stupid and clueless, he talks to me as if I’m as happy to see him as he is to see me. Last time he tried to give me certificates for a free massage while I was fantasizing about kicking him in the nads.
So I’m at a tennis tournament. (Ok, so I liked tennis players.) And I keep running into exes, one after the other. They are all playing in the same tournament. (After I woke up I realized that one of them was NOT a tennis player, and yet he was playing in the tournament. That would have been interesting. He played football.) So I get to my first true love. And he goes to kiss me. I say “I can’t, I’m married.” (It’s highly annoying that I don’t even cheat in my dreams.) And then he looks shocked and hurt. And I feel SO bad. I feel guilty that I got married. And then I wake up. Still feeling bad. And I’m disturbed that I ran into all those people at one time. It takes me about an hour to fall back asleep. Then I longed for the rat-cat dreams.

Geez, Is everybody sniffing petrol?

Shaymus, I think they are…
At least you had labradors in your dream, that’s never a bad thing!

I’m not sniffing petrol. I said it was a disturbing look. You didn’t have to look!
Seb-It’s probably because my idiot yellow lab was barking. Causing me to dream of sweet loving labradors who listen.

Hey when you get done with the petrol…Try drinkin’ the Toilet Duck…..Its a good Trip man!
November 4, 2006 at 4:31 pm
LOL! I don’t even know what toilet duck is!!!!!!
November 4, 2006 at 5:09 pm
Haha, Shaymus what is Toilet duck??? I bet it’s good for you.
November 4, 2006 at 5:29 pm
Why do I get the feeling he’s had TOilet Duck before?

They are variations of the same theme. The boyfriends were the various animals. Some were cute some were not. Animals don’t play tennis so it only flows one way, the stories that is… oh, and the mighty mississip’! It flows one way too.

No, they were all cute. I’m pretty shallow that way.
I had to have the cute one EVERYONE else wanted. lol…..

Helen,
You’re dreams are pretty vivid. At times I wake up remembering dreams of similar vividness. Not quite as weird, half animal freaks and such, etc. As to the cheating because it’s a dream. 31 years married and I ALWAYS wake up at the most most opportune time as it were, or if I don’t I always decline and go away. My friend Dave has always had the ability, according to him, to realize he is just dreaming while doing so and he allows himself the indiscretions of romantic interludes with others not his wife, because of course he realizes he’s just dreaming. This really pisses me off. I know I would never do it in real life, but I wouldn’t mind a little fun while strolling around in dream world. Thanks for the stories…as usual…most enjoyable reading. Stan

Stan-
So I wonder if Dave cheats in real life? I mean, seriously, I wonder…. I don’t wake up at oppurtune moments. One time I flat out turned Ben Affleck down and HE’S on my laminated list. Well not anymore, but he was then…..
November 6, 2006 at 6:10 pm
Nope, he’s no cheater. He has been married a few times (4 to be exact, 3 & 4 are to the same woman…does that count as 4). When married he’s very faithful, in between wives he’s been know to be pretty active. He just feels, ‘hey if I’m dreaming and I know it and can’…well you get the picture…Now, what the hell is a laminated list?
November 6, 2006 at 8:34 pm
LOL Stan! It’s from a Friends episode. The laminated list is a list of famous people, with whom, if you ever met in real life and had the opportunity to….well you know….then you get a free pass from your spouse. LOL!
