it’s pretty hard for me to remember my dreams.
But, I know I had one last night, and I should have gotten out of bed afterwards to type this up, because now, my memory of the dream isn’t as vivid as it was immediately after my waking up.
Setting the scene:
The house got a bit hot in the latter part of the afternoon, but not so hot that I wanted to turn the air on. So, I turned on the fan I have in the LR and was running that in the evening hours, and of course, all the windows in the house were open thru-out the entire day..
Went to bed at the usual time, and it was still a bit hot in the MBR so I decided to sleep on top of the covers (get your mind out of the gutter, yes, i had my 1950’s style PJ’s on – the kind you see in the old TV shows, with Rock Hudson and Doris Day – I’m Rock, by the way, in my dream – lol).
Anyway, in the middle of the night (ok, it was around 4 or 5am), I guess I started having this dream.
I was lying on the sidewalk in front of some office building, freezing. Can’t remember if it was snowing, but i think it was. I’m talking to myself, what the heck am I doing, lying on a sidewalk, and why aren’t the security guards coming to help me – surely, they must be seeing me on their monitors?
Well, that’s when I woke up – and figured out that in reality, it had started to rain outdoors, and the temp in the house had dropped to some temp that my feet were really, really cold.
Because of my noticing that it was raining, I now had to go check on the opened windows, to make sure the rain wasn’t coming in.
This isn’t that easy to do, if you’re still half asleep AND, have just woken from a vivid dream.
I was so out of it. Couldn’t figure out what the heck was going on.
I went round the house, closing most of the windows, and eventually crawled back into bed – this time, getting under the covers.
I must have fallen back to sleep without any further issue, since the next time i saw daylight, it was after 8.
Like I said, the memory of the dream was a lot better right afterwards, I know I didn’t do it justice with my one paragraph synopsis…
Next time, maybe i’ll try using a “speech to text” app to describe my dream immediately after waking up. I know I wasn’t awake enough to have been able to have typed anything up at 4-5am…just sayin’
