Have you ever had a dream that seemed like it really happened? I had one of those yesterday. I dreamed I was eating saltine crackers and raw hamburger while watching French mimes on TV. Suddenly Lady Gaga stormed in the front door and said “How dare you!!” and took off with the hamburger. Weird, eh? Um, wait a minute. All of that really did happen. As you were.

 

 

 

 

 

Sometimes dreams can be so bizarre that they make no sense at all. At least that’s been my experience.

Believe me when I tell you that Heather is awesome and our marriage is very good and strong but I really don’t have the best track record. Weddings and spiders. Yikes! I know! I think if I ever have a dream with those combined, I’ll be the guy about who everyone says “died peacefully in his sleep”. How do we know that’s true? It’s probably better for the family to at least think that but the truth is that mine would not be peaceful. Not by a long shot.

Really cool. The stress associated with that relationship is suddenly gone. Now, if I could just have one about the girl in fourth grade who beat me up.
