Scream Dream

Last night I dreamt a mass murderer was trying to stab me. As the man leaned over me I thought 'you've read enough murder mysteries to know what to do. you should scream." so I screamed. The perpetrator ran off. I then thought 'I should stop screaming before I wake up Keith.' I then woke up and noted the two cats were still by me on the bed and there was no movement from my husbands room so I figured I must have not actually screamed. I looked at the clock and it was 2:35 a.m. At 2:39 a.m. my cell phone rings and it's Keith wanting to know what the heck was that sound. I laughed my ass off telling him and then commented how reassuring it was to know that if something had actually happened he and the cats would have been so concerned. He said he was afraid I was still sleeping and remembered how angry I get when awakened from a good sleep, but then he figured he'd better see if something had happened to one of the cats so I could check on them. He said the scream was so high pitched it didn't even sound like me. What cracked me up the most though was in the dream as I was screaming to scare away the murderer I was more concerned with waking Keith up than with getting killed and he was more concerned with waking me up than finding out what had happened. Do you get the idea neither of us wakes up very nicely? Ah to dream perchance to scream!
