An Odd Dream
Morning of 7-7-05: Vivid Dream - schnibbles' Wedding
This morning I had a weird vivid dream just prior to waking up, so I thought I’d share it. I dreamt that I missed schnibbles’ wedding day because my New Jersey buddies wanted to go to some sports bar or something on the morning of the wedding. Apparently, they were all invited as well because of how they were dressed.
We were at the bar a long time, but I don’t remember what happened there other than when we decided to leave. I was the last one out the door and I noticed a few coats still on the wall. There were other patrons, but I was pretty sure these were my friends’ coats, so I grabbed the three coats off their wall hooks and rushed outside. I yelled at my friends up ahead and they stopped and turned around to look, but they all denied ownership as I held the coats aloft, one at a time, so I hurried back inside to return the coats to their hooks.
One coat that had been hung on an impractically high hook about twelve foot off the floor had an obvious bulge in the pocket, so I reached in to find out what it was. It contained a fat bottle of some prescription drug, plus a little bottle of another medication. Instinctually, I checked the pockets of the other two coats and discovered similar small medicine bottles.
I left the coats and remembered: “Oh crap! schnibbles' wedding!” I wanted to get back to Covenant Chapel where the wedding was being held immediately. I was very nervous that I had already missed the ceremony, but I was determined to get over there as fast as I could to see for myself and I was cursing my stupid friends who distracted me and dragged me to this bar. As I turned to walk outside, I saw a dressed-up couple. The guy was wearing a tux and even though I didn’t recognize them, I was sure they had just come from the wedding.
I think that’s when I woke up. schnibbles was in the room and before I opened my eyes, still in that groggy state, I tried to explain my dream. I think I said plainly: “Kate, you’ve gotta hear this dream I just had. Just then, I was rolling onto my back, sitting up a bit and opening my eyes. I saw that the alarm clock read 11:10am, so I began panicking that I was late for work. It wasn’t until right then that my brain registered that I was still dreaming, that this wasn’t my bed, not even my house, and that there was no explanation for why schnibbles would have been there. You would think I would have realized I was still dreaming once I sensed that schnibbles was in my bedroom, but I think the whole waking process felt too realistic and distracted me.
The dream persisted slightly as I tried to figure out whose room I was in (pointless in a dream, right?). It wasn’t my apartment in Indiana. It wasn’t my room in New Jersey, but the dresser was very similar. Ultimately, I decided it was Dad’s room, although the furniture was different. I think Dad even made an appearance before I woke up, but no Oreo or Chips (our cats) :(
Strange, huh?
