Something terribly creepy –
Another prophetic dream. Again it involved an object in the house of the kids I babysit: I dreampt I was in a store, looking to buy a present for someone. Then I saw a wooden cup-like thing with holes in the top and some green stuff coming out of it in little felt bags. It took me a minute to realize this was catnip, then I got really excited because I realized I needed to buy the thing as a present for some [unspecified] feline friend.
I was telling this dream to I. tonight, the 8-yr-old, while babysitting, and she suddenly began yelling, “Oh! Oh! Yes, I know! That’s exactly the toy we have for Bella [cat].” I got quite freaked out at that point. “No,” I said, “you don’t understand, this was a DREAM. It was made up in my head while I was sleeping.” “But,” she argued back, “we OWN that toy. We have that exact thing…” and then she proceeded to describe exactly what was in my dream.
Now I know what you’re thinking: I probably saw the catnip toy a bunch of times in their house, never really took note of it but processed it on some deep, subconscious level. Ditto for the glow-in-the-dark jellyfish.
Well you’re wrong!! I swear, I’ve never seen the catnip toy before, and I’ve definitely never seen the glow-in-the-dark jellyfish before dreaming about it. Life is funny, you know? How come I can foresee the appearance of insignificant toys in someone else’s house, but I can’t predict important things like a natural disaster or a non-violent method of regime change in Washington, or a chance meeting with a phat producer?
It’s late and it’s time to retire, as my grandparents would say before bed. Salud.
