The really strange thing about dreams is that they turn people into unrecognizable variations of themselves. They think and do things while dreaming that they probably would never do in real life – and I don’t mean that they dream they are doing those things. They actually do those things.
To preserve anonymity, I’m not going to say who did this, but the other night someone was dreaming that they were being threatened by a huge bad guy. The dreamer (not saying who) knew that they couldn’t get away by running. The only good strategy they had was to lie on their back, wait till the bad guy was above them, and then swiftly and decisively, kick their head off (the solution, of course!). This they proceeded to do, followed by several loud noises and the sound of breaking glass.
This woke me up, searching for a light and looking to see if the husband was in bed and okay. The dreamer (anonymous) was rubbing his ankle and surveying the damage. Somehow the bedside lamp had totally lost it’s lampshade and was hanging from the wall on a strange angle. On the marble top bedside table was a broken pitcher vase with it’s flowers all awry.
There are two points to this story. The first is this – if you sleep with a dreamer make sure his feet are pointing away from you and sleep lightly. The second is, if you are a bad guy, don’t sneak in our house at night unless you want your head kicked off. Seriously.
I Just Have to Say... 
LOL, thanks of the chuckle. Great tips, too, as to the positioning in bed. I toss and turn a lot — takes me forever to get comfortable, so I probably do the kicking, but not in my dreams.
Thanks for reading. I toss and turn a lot too. I think of it as exercise.
In our bed, my husband is the one who has to take cover, poor fellow. The other night I was tweaking his nose and another night I was stomping on a giant spider–except it turned out to be hubby’s hairy leg! Love your posts and your humor,
Oh my (laughing). Thanks for the encouraging feedback.
