This isn't so much a vent/rant as it is an expression of bafflement. I've been having such strange dreams lately that I spend half an hour every morning trying to re-establish reality.
A few days ago I had a dream that I got a dog. Now in the dream, the dog was actually the dog I already have in reality. So when Teddy Bear woke me up that morning, I was like, "There's a doggie in my room! A cute doggie! He's real!" with this amazing sense of wonder. Meanwhile, Teddy was looking at me like I lost my mind, wondering why I wasn't opening the door so he could go into the hallway like we do every morning. Reality came back to me, leaving me feeling rather silly. I mean, I've had this dog for over two years. He's been waking me up every day for TWO YEARS.
This morning's pre-waking dream also involved my dog. I lost him, but I wasn't worried because I knew a lady had him. And somehow I ended up with her dog. In this dream my Dad was still alive and my parents were still together, and we were staying at another woman's house. POOH: Don't read the part behind the spoiler tag!!
There was also a train, like the old circus trains, but it was hooked up to a pickup truck and all the train cars had dogs in them.
I think maybe the heat is getting to my brain.
