I'm not usually a very vivid dreamer. I dream, yes, but they're normally forgotten by the time I'm drinking my first cup of coffee. Nightmares are very uncommon - as far as I can remember, the last time I had a nightmare that caused me to wake up screaming was back when I was a teenager and still living at home.
Last night, though, I had a VERY strange dream. It started out with my being Harry Potter, and I was being pursued by Voldemort. In the middle of that dream, however, I dreamt that I had woken up and that I was in a motel room bed with a cat laying next to me. I dreamt that I dozed off a few times more, but the last time I woke up I could hear someone else breathing.
I was scared. I wasn't alone in that motel room. I could hear another person breathing, and it sure as hell wasn't the cat.
Just as my heart began to beat a little faster and the panic began to rise in my chest, I awoke enough to realize that it was Dave's breathing that I could hear and that the whole motel room and cat scenario was a dream too.
Weird.
Very weird. I've never dreamt about something that strange before. Like I said, I don't normally remember my dreams, but the ones I DO recall are about pretty run-of-the-mill stuff - flying, breathing underwater, seeing people who have passed away, needing to run but not being able to get up...that kind of stuff. I've never dreamt about anything like this before.
Have you? What's your strangest dream been about?
