Midsummer Night's Dream (Not so much!) - Thursday, 4/16/09

I dream a lot! I can't help it, it runs in the family. When I say a lot, I don't mean I dream a lot..I mean that I can barely sustain a normal sleep pattern because I am ALWAYS dreaming. I wake up at least 3 times a night and I can usually remember at least 3 dreams a night. This one dream is a keeper. It's not necessarily the dream, but the conversation that followed the dream. Men are definitely from Mars!
Me: [touching DL's shoulder] Hon, I had a bad dream.
DL: Hmmmmmm?
Me: [touching a little harder] Hon, did you hear me?
DL: Uh-huuuuuuh.
Me: I had a nightmare.
DL: [No response]
Me: Did you hear me?
DL: Uh-huuuuuuh
Me: I had a dream that I cheated on you.
DL: Well, did you stop?
Me: Uh, I don't think so. We broke up.
DL: [Snoring again]
Me: [Seriously??????]

WAIT! What did he say? Did I stop? Come on girls, if your guy woke you up at 3:00am and stated matter-of-factly that he cheated on you with somebody else, what would you say? Would you actually say, "Well, did you stop?" I don't think we would say that! If my guy told me in a dead sleep that he dreamed that he was cheating on me, I believe the conversation would go something like this:

DL: [touching my shoulder] Sweetie, I had a bad dream.
Me: Uh-huuuuuuh
DL: I had a nightmare
Me: Did you?
DL: Yeah, I dreamed I cheated on you.
Me: [Turning the light on because we will be up for awhile] Really? What did you dream?
DL: Well...I dreamed that I cheated on you and you found out and we broke up.
Me: Really? Ummmm. What did she look like? Was she prettier than me? Are you trying to tell me something? She was a blonde, wasn't she? I knew it.
DL: Go back to sleep it was nothing.
Me: Nothing? Nothing? You're kidding, right?
DL: Yeah, it was nothing. It was just a dream.
Me: So...what you are telling me is that you dreaming of another woman is nothing? Is that what you're saying?
DL: [Thinking, damn, why did I say anything? Jesus Christ, it was just a dream}

Girls, am I completely crazy OR would you have a problem with this? In my opinion, men are from Mars, because if this happened to my girl friends, I don't believe it would be taken so lightly!!

Luckily, I haven't had this dream since. But, would DL really care? I don't think so.
