Vivid Imagination

Last night, I dreamed I was in a strange house in Hawaii. There was a terrible storm and all the power had been knocked out and I was standing in a room with a sliding glass door, looking out into the dark when all of a sudden a huge tree was uprooted and blown against the house.

The tree came alive and it was clinging to the side of the house, looking in at me through the sliding glass door, moaning and groaning. It's limbs were flailing about like arms and legs as the wind blew it around and it had a face, kinda like what I would envision a sasquatch to look like, hairy and brown. It was hanging on for dear life and it's legs (roots) were tilted out behind it in the wind and it just kept on groaning and groaning.

Then Tubby came to me in the darkness, probably awakened by the groaning tree, and he kept rubbing against my legs and pulling on me to follow him. We stumbled through the room and down a dark hallway and then Tubby led me to a cardboard box on the floor, full of tiny black and white kittens, all mewling for me to feed them. I knew I needed to find them some food, so I went outside and started climbing the steepest hill I've ever seen in my life and when I looked down at my legs, they were muscled and tanned and powerful and I couldn't believe it was my very own legs! I've never had such beautifully toned legs!

I kept climbing and climbing and was amazed at how well I was doing when all of a sudden I had reached the top and I was enveloped in a huge mass of hockey players running out of a building in their uniforms, where they had just won a huge championship game. They were all running and cheering and one of the players grabbed me up in a massive bear hug and twirled me around and around. Then he put me down and looked into my face and for some reason I just knew he was going to kiss me, so I ran away, back into the house to find the kittens.

As I went room to room in the dark house, I came upon a young girl and boy. It was like I had night-vision goggles on or something because I could see them, but they couldn't see me. The girl was turned toward me and I could tell she could sense I was there, but she couldn't see me. She was reaching out toward the bed where the boy laid and he was reaching up for her at the same time, but she never took her eyes off me. The boy patted her on the back and she thought it was someone else touching her, so she screamed his name "Jesse!!!" and the look of horror on her face was somehow comical to me because I woke myself up laughing out loud at the frightened look on her face.

This is what happens when I drink hot chocolate before bed! Sheesh!
