Dreams

Most of my life, I've had the occasional memorable dream that's been worthy of sharing with people. But for some crazy reason, in the past year, I've been more likely than not to have one of these types of dreams each night. Poor Bryan...almost every morning I start off the day with, "so, last night this happened..." and I will proceed with a rundown of what my subconscious produced. Probably about 50% of the time, it involves Bryan being an absolute jerk. I refer to his unfortunate alter-ego as "Nightmare Bryan". For example, he's asked me to wait for him, only to turn around and walk up the aisle with a completely different bride...he's cheated on me and said it wasn't a big deal...he's shot an indifferent glance in my direction when I've wandered into the woods in tears...on the other hand, in some dreams he's wonderful. Like the time I was being approached by a dark figure in the basement of Frontier School, and Bryan literally jumped down a flight of stairs to tackle him. Or when he entertained me with a very talented dance to the Happy Days theme song. Of course, sometimes he's neutral. Last night, for instance, he poured a bunch of shot glasses full of whiskey, and before anyone could stop me, I dove in front of him and guzzled them all. Come to think of it, though, he didn't even try to stop me. He just looked sad, like a little boy who got his Christmas present stolen from him. Maybe he wanted to guzzle them all, and I was only saving him...hmm...who knows?

Once or twice, I've been a jerk, too. I can think of two dreams where I've dumped him for someone else, then regretted my choice, then taken him back, and he was cool with that.

Occasionally, he's not involved at all. Sometime last week I had a dream that Jannaya went on a shooting spree at VBS in Frontier. I managed to save a lot of people by spraying her with a strong water hose, then trying to talk some sense into her. I was shaking her by the shoulders, but she avoided my eyes and had a very evil grin on her face. I'm excited to pick her up from the airport today and tell her all about that one.
