Had the weirdest dream the other night, woke up to it yesterday.
Int he dream I was going to bed, the room was clean but rustic, the walls had rough hewn plank-boards on the walls, but it seemed initially that the walls behind were sound.
The lights in the dream went off, signifying sleep, when they were on again during the morning there were bats all over the ceiling. They were in the blankets and I felt them bite me as I flicked the sheets off and saw them clinging to the mattress. I leapt from the bed thinking, "Oh god, rabies," and the more stressful element became clear.
There was a bat in my throat. In that spot at the back of your mouth, like it was clinging to the rear of my soft pallet where the nasal passage and throat meet. It wasn't enough to fully block breathing, although it was hard to get air. The wet fur of the body was rubbing the back of my tongue... and I was struggling to cough/tongue it loose.
Then I woke up and went: 0_o;
