 an experience
I had a dream just the other night... or, something. It was when I was half-asleep, had woken up and was drifting off again.
Some background: I facilitate drum circles, and my car was full of drums. I had led a circle that evening, and had one the next day. The temps were OK to leave them in the car, so I decided that would be easiest. I'm always a *little* nervous about that, in case someone breaks into the car, but I have a big dog who barks if anyone comes into the yard. I felt OK about it that night.
So, I had slept, and had woken up very early in the morning. I recently had my first "unbidden" lucid dream. I'd never looked into that, but since that happened, I've been reading more about it. I was thinking of that as I was drifting off, trying to keep my eyes open as I drifted off, maintaining consciousness as long as possible. Right as I started to go to sleep, I heard an EVIL voice yell out: "Don't clean out your car, bitch!" Yikes! My first thought was to rush out and clean out the car! But it was 4:30 or so in the morning...and I was warm in bed. I "felt" around to see what was going on, and decided to let it go 'til later in the day. A little later, I heard a huge BOOM right in my back yard. It sounded like an explosion! I jumped up and looked out the window, and realized the construction people working next door had just had their huge dumpster dropped off. But I realized... if it had been an explosion, and we had needed to leave quickly, I wouldn't have fit everyone into the car with my drums in there! I have two boys (and a dog, and 4 cats). If we had needed to evacuate, I would have been throwing my drums all over the yard to get everyone in the car! I cleaned the car out that morning, and have decided to not leave the drums in, even if I have back-to-back circles again. You never know when you'll need your car empty...
Since then, I've been second-guessing... like maybe the "voice" knew I'm kind of contrary and would do the opposite of what they told me to do... but, for now, I'm going with the info I have.  |
