I have been neglecting this blog, it’s true. But today I took a nap and had a few dreams that I don’t want to forget. I had to get up really early for class this morning and didn’t sleep well last night, so I decided to take a nap when I got home. The following ensued.
For some reason, my family is having Larry the Cable Guy over for dinner. Halfway through dinner, he starts to feel sick, so we tell him
not funny.
forgetting that he is there, I start to say, “What are you guys talking about? He’s not even funny! David Cross is way funnier than him. You know he doesn’t like David Cross, right? He’s just poop jokes – NOT FUNNY! And –” I stop mid sentence as I remember that Larry is sitting on the couch in the living room. My eyes widen as my family gives me a silent, incredulous death glare. Baffled at what I’ve just done, I try to backtrack. “JEEZ, YOU GUYS! CAN’T YOU TAKE A JOKE? I was just kidding, god! I hate David Cross, you guys know that. What’s wrong with you guys?” They drop their glare (only slightly), and we clean up the kitchen. We go out into the living room to see how Larry is doing, and he tries to teach my mom a weird hoedown-type dance. I go into my room.
I wake up, roll over, then immediately fall asleep and have another strange dream that it’s late night. I wake up and go into the kitchen to get something to drink. As I’m about to open the refridgerator, I hear what sounds like a baby crying. I stop for a moment to try to hear better. It sounds like it’s coming from my parent’s room. I walk down the hall to where I’m outside their door, and I begin to hear words. “Help me! Help me, Uncle Mike! (my dad’s name is Mike)” I open their door, thinking for some reason that it might be my mom. As I walk in, the crying gets louder but I can’t figure out where it’s coming from. “Help me, Uncle Mike! Where’s my life? Where’s my life going? Help me!” I try frantically to wake my parents, but I cannot rouse them from their sleep. I shake them and hit them to no avail, and all the while I can hear the crying person begging for help.
It was a nightmare that woke me up. After that, I decided that I’d had enough nap time for today.
