I guess you can tell I've finally been getting some rest...now that all the stress and nonsense of working life has been put on hold for two weeks. (YAY!!)
I had probably the most disturbing dream I think I've had in forever this morning.
Long story short there was a 'puppy' Kate and a 'now' Kate.
PS - This is Kate:
Anyway - long dream short - we were at this creek and 'now' Kate jumped in and was swimming and I was worried because it was really cold. Then I looked up and 'puppy' Kate jumped in too but wasn't coming up. All I could see was this little circle of yellow under the water. So I ran to the water (taking my gloves off on the way - random right?) and jumped in to get her.
Apparently jumping into water in a dream does wake you up. (I've heard that before - jumping/falling into water, crashing into something, any sudden impact - will wake you up.) But I woke up so cold and scared. It was so weird. I'm still kind of troubled by it. Partially because I was upset when I woke up b/c I was confused and didn't know if I got her out of the water.
Dreams... geez... I'd really like to be able to decode them. I wish that was an accurate science.
Two things:
1. So glad I get to see my favorite goofy, yellow dog niece soon.
2. I guess even restful dreams (not stress induced ones) can be traumatic.
