I thought you would find this interesting. I had something happen to me
that never happened before. I had a really bizarre, intense dream last
week. I ended up flying out of bed, waking up when I hit the floor hard.
My bed is quite high so it was quite a fall. I hit my hip and knee and
as the day wore on the pain worsened and showed up in other body areas
that I apparently hit. Despite being in a lot of pain, especially in the
hip area, I was able to walk normally. We resisted going to get it
checked out as I figured it was a bruise. It was worse the next day but
then got better quickly. I’m fine. But I sure could have been seriously
hurt! But here’s the dream.
I was walking home, I guess through nicely fenced back yards. A little
girl and her dog were there and they kind of started walking with me and
then slowly started encircling me. The girl was pleasant but then got
very quiet and started looking more intense. Her pleasant smile got more
malevolent, and her eyes started looking funny and much scarier. They
kind of glowed (remember Village of the darned, kind of like that).
Ditto for the dog as he started to look more and more like a growling
pit bull. They were walking in wide circles around me and the radius was
slowly getting smaller. I think I was yelling at them to go away but
they kept at it, closing the gap. I’m not sure what happened but I think
I dove over the fence. I KNOW I dove out of bed. Wow.
Earlier on the day, we saw a commercial that got my attention. It was
one of those please adapt a pet from the Humane Society. But the
so-called cute pets were pit bulls. We both remarked that this was not
exactly the best dogs to be showing in commercials. So, I guess that set
the seed. Upon reflection, I also wonder if this doesn’t represent my
battle with PC. My next PSA will be Friday of next week and indeed this
disease is relentless in just being there and never going away. In my
situation, it will never go away.
Anyway, I thought you would find this interesting.
