I was trying to sleep in (i.e., past 6 AM) this morning and I was having a nightmare that I was somewhere with Rachel and she kept talking and talking, saying the same things over and over, and I was trying to tell her to stop but I couldn't speak above a teeny-tiny whisper no matter how hard I tried, and Rachel was yammering away, so I started slapping her on the face to get her attention (it wasn't real - calm down) and it didn't work and this dream went on and on and on until I was feeling even more irritated than I feel in real life when Rachel yammers incessantly (because in real life I can yell at her to cut it out) until I finally woke up (whew!); but the voice from my dream was still going, right next to me.
This completely freaked me out until I managed to open my eyes and realize that Susie was lying beside me and singing (happily) into my ear. And, no, I didn't slap her. But I do think I am owed an hour's nap sometime today.
This sounds eerily familiar...
ReplyDeleteHa! I hate it when something from reality interferes with sleep - like when my husband steals the comforter and then I dream I'm cold for the next two hours or so.
ReplyDeleteI think it's so weird how real life intrudes on our dreams works itself right into the storyline. See what happens when you try to sleep past 6 AM?
ReplyDeleteDude, my life right now includes a nine-year-old who will NOT STOP WHISTLING. Honestly, it's incessant. To the point that I am concerned for everyone's safety if it doesn't stop soon. I so get that nightmare.
ReplyDeleteAARRGG I hate when that happens. It seems to happen ANYTIME I try to sleep - wether its sleep in, or take a nap.

Isn't it funny that we try so hard for them to start talking... and then they never, ever, ever shut up?! My son talks incessantly; my daughter has taken up humming. It's a nightmare, alright.
ReplyDeleteWhat on Earth was she doing singing at 6 am?! Noone should be that happy that early!
