Nightmares

There's nothing worse that I hate than nightmares. If there is, I can't think of it right now. Well, maybe there's one. That would probably be able bodied individuals depending on the government for their livelihood - but Gregg's already covered that soapbox very well a couple of times over the past few weeks, so I won't climb on mine right away! Maybe later.........

Anyway, back to nightmares. I really hate them. Especially when you wake up feeling like you've just run for your life....short of breath, sweating, and anything else you've ever done in a nightmare! I told Jeremy when we were first married that if I had a nightmare and I woke him up to talk to me to help get it out of my head, he better wake up and talk! It's the craziest thing when I wake up from those dreams sometimes. If I don't divert my brain quickly, I can lay my head back down, go back to sleep, and instantly pick up in that dream where it left off. I just hate that!

Explaining dreams to Addison has been a chore. I have had to fully wake her up for the same reason...she simply couldn't quit crying otherwise.

I said all that for a reason - I really did.

Not too long ago, someone told a story that made me laugh for days. Probably for that reason, I'd prefer that I not mention who it was. lol!

Anyway, in a sermon where nightmares were a side trail, he told a story of a man who had a nightmare. He said this man woke up in a complete panic because he was dreaming that he was part rabbit (or fox) and part squirrel. (someone who was there will have to help me remember - please?) Anyway, he said as he was this "thing," he was being chased by hunting dogs. He said he remembered being so confused because he couldn't figure out if he needed to climb a tree or find a hole to run in. He said he's never been happier than he was to wake up from that nightmare.

Don't ask me why, but this struck me hilariously. As anyone who knows me knows how terrible it is for me to get tickled in the middle of a sermon, It took me over half his message to recover from this.

I saw this video clip and it reminded me of that story. And I laughed about it all over again in addition to laughing at this video.

So, I just wanted to share the humor and give you a reason to smile today. By the way, wouldn't this just be a horrible way to wake up.
