Let me key you in on a way Billy and I are different:
(Thrilling, I know...)
Boy does not dream.
I mean it he NEVER dreams.
I dream ALL the time.
Pretty much every single night.
It would stink if I never dreamt (dreamed?)
He says it doesn't bother him.
How can it not bother him?
"It doesn't bother me."
He has got to be lying.
Although, I gotta say some of my dreams are really embarrassing.
See, I pretty much have the same 4-5 dreams over and over again.
I'll give you a couple of examples.
Scenario One:
I'm late for the big game and I realize I didn't pack my hi-tops.
The team really needs me.
I finally find my sneakers and make it onto the court just in time.
The truly embarrassing thing about this dream is how disappointed I am when I wake up and realize that high school is over and I'm not playing on my team.
I loved high school.
It's true and that's embarrassing in itself.
It's like my dirty little secret.
I liked high school.
Well, it used to be a secret anyway.
Scenario Two:
I'm stuck inside a cave filled with treasure on the mountain featured in Darby O'Gill and the Little People.
That movie scared the business out of me.
I have a feeling though that if I went back and watched it I probably wouldn't get that scared.
I mean, it's Disney for crying out loud.
The embarrassing thing about this dream is that I've been having it off and on since I was EIGHT!
Why, oh why, am I still having this dream?
It's a waste of dream space.
Sigh.
If we are going to be different though the fact that I dream and he doesn't really isn't a big deal.
But the fact that he lies to me about not being bothered by the fact that he doesn't dream - now that bothers me!
"Woman, I told you it doesn't bother me."

i rarely dream. it doesn't bother me. in fact, i think i would rather not dream b/c when i do, it's either bad (smothered by something heavy and trying to wake up) or i wake up nervous b/c i think i'm at hiding at school b/c i forgot to put my clothes on that morning. So, i'm just as good not dreaming... by the way, maybe you should be mad at Billy for holding whatever kind of football that was in that picture b/c it sure wasn't orange and blue.
ReplyDeletedon't tell anybody i dream about being at school nekkid, because that may be misconstrued as extremely creepy. to clarify, i am still school aged in the dream and i'm supposed to be headed to Mrs. Robinson's class...
ReplyDeleteAlas, the football Billy is holding was red and white. We were at a Watson gathering and that was the only ball around.
ReplyDeleteEveryone has the hiding at school dream except for me I'm hiding in a parking lot - I don't know. I'm crazy.
Hiding in the parking lot?? That's pretty crazy.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember my dreams very often, which is disappointing to me. A high school friend and I used to analyze our dreams before school started. Mine were always sad or disturbing. Hers were always funny. I wish I had funny dreams!
I think not dreaming may be a guy thing because my husband says he doesn't really dream either. I always have weird dreams about high school... and shooting bad people where the bullet doesn't come out of the gun with enough force to hurt them. I really need someone to analyze my dreams!
