It is 6 in the morning. My alarm isn't supposed to go off for two hours. And yet...
You ever have one of those dreams where a purely innocent sound filters into your REMing brain and turns that purely innocent sound into something OMG, SCARY! and you wake up rather terrified? Yeah. That would be why I am up at the moment.
In this case, it was the scary snow plow/snow eater going by and doing something that sounds like it involves using a big saw to cut the ice (or maybe my brain is just still in that OMG stage), but that particular little nasty sound made it's way into my brain as the form of one of those giant machines that are used to peel the bark off cut logs - you know, when you stick a full-sized log into a void of churning metal bits and it goes ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZRRRRRRRRRT and lo, the log comes out naked. Kind of scary in and of it's self, but when you are actually *sleeping* on a big log in your dream, and the NOISE IS COMING CLOSER, and no matter how fast you move you are never fast enough? Yeah, it can be a bit freaky. It's even worse when you wake up and SCARY NOISE OF DOOM IS STILL COMING CLOSER! Scared the bejesus out of me. Big time.\
It also didn't help that I wasn't having the nicest dream in the first place. First it involved being trapped in a runaway car that was going 100 mph, then it involved getting lost in the woods (barefoot, no less) and someone telling me that two of my cousins were dead by not very nice means and that the only reason I was seeing them was because they were ghosts (or something; possibly hallucinations), and finally it was the scary log eater coming to get me. Not cool, brain. Not cool at all.
