In the quiet of the night....

Sometimes you get to have super vivid dreams that FREAK YOU OUT!

I've been thinking on whether to post about this for over a week now and decided, 'yeah my friends can just question my sanity on this.'

Places: - Hotel lobby, hotel parking lot, our house
People: Rich, me, Pam, and random internet meet up girl.

Imagine your standing in a swanky hotel lobby, one of those with the bar that attracts people who are not actually guests because its 'a destination'....The bar and lounge area set on curved terraces surrounded by columns of glass windows looking out onto a crystal clear spring night.

I'm vaguely aware of Rich and I sipping martinis, trying to act casual on a couple bar stools next to a glass counter overlooking the drone of the younger crowd. It came to my consciousness that we were waiting on someone, there was a plan. The plan made me very nervous and uneasy.

Then, there was this blond girl up on a balcony type area waving down at us. Rich seemed to recognize her immediately, he'd been talking to her on the internet. This was his plan, his fantasy, his dream.....to lure a girl to a hotel and somehow hurt her(my dream never got into specifics)....Somehow I was supporting this and suppose to happy!

There was some conversation between us about how he was so thankful I was letting him cross something off his life goal list WTH? (and now you can start questioning my sanity people)

I watched him go and meet her as I stayed in the blue toned lobby with it's juxtaposition of merriment to my sense of doom.

Rich had been gone for about 10 mins when something changed in the dream. I think it was my subconscious trying to STOP what was happening and getting very upset.

I become aware of teeth in my mouth and they are in pieces, I'm rolling pieces of my teeth around in my mouth. I text Rich 'Dental Emergency'....like this is suppose to stop him in his escapade. He of course, calls and yells at me about ruining IT for him....whatever IT was.

(Sidenote: I grind my teeth at night if I'm stressed or upset, bet you $100 I WAS grinding my teeth in real life and it was my brain telling me to stop.)

At this point I decide to leave, go home, get to an 24 hr dental clinic. Do those even exist? I'm at home, Pam has been babysitting the kids, at this point baby boy has arrived and is maybe 4 mths old. Pam asks if everything is ok. Me, 'nope, Rich is still out and I've got to get to a dental clinic, can you take the kids to your house for the night?'....what's really going through my head, 'Rich is PISSED and I don't know what moood he's going to be in after I interrupted with a lame abort mission excuse'...

At this point the dream became very muddled. Vague recollection of Rich coming to the house, saying he couldn't do it. But somehow not being very mad at me....

This dream disturbed me so much that from the time I woke up at 5:30am with it, sleep didn't come back to mee for almost 2 hrs....All I did in that two hours was snuggle against Rich and think how could my brain conjure such horrible things about my husband....weird.

Note: The next morning Rich said he had a strange dream...he was crowned the King of Norway while I was dreaming of him being some kind of strangler in a hotel and I became a snaggle toothed wife.

What the brain does in the quiet of the night is fascinating...
