i dreamed a dream (about vampires)
i was reading through my inca trail posts on my very first blog and some of the stories were making me laugh and laugh. this one was begging to be told again.
i had a very hard time falling asleep the night before the hike began due to anticipation and nervousness. i woke up after only a few hours of sleep, in the throes of a horrible nightmare about vampires. the nightmare wouldn’t stop, so i lay awake in the dark, trying to make the vampires go away.
all of a sudden, i heard murmuring coming from the bed next to me and then my roommate joan let out two loud long screams.
i didn’t know what to do. what if someone came running, thinking i was killing her. i finally said her name softly and she went back to sleep.
i, on the other hand, was now wide-awake.
when i told her about this in the morning, she said that she was having a nightmare about witches. when she screamed, the witch was attempting to drive a rusty iron nail into her neck.
(did i mention how perfectly suited we were as roommates? there was much giggling.)
haha… sorry about the bad dreams, of course, but funny how you & your roommates dreams were rather similar! :o) Wishing you happy dreams… and a good weekend ((HUGS))
don’t you love getting to see old stuff in print? i’m trying to assimilate vampires vs witches!
i used to nightmare about walls closing in and squishing me. i swear that’s why i’m a minimalist and have been most of my life!!!
i hope you and atlas have a super weekend. xo
Oh my gosh, Elizabeth! I just read that post last night when I was looking through the photos, and it made me laugh! Not that you were having nightmares of course, but you know. Hilarious! Perfect roommate for you
So funny!!! (& I love that you were reading old posts, and laughing!)
And oh, that picture. Took my breath away. Where is that incredible place?
That’s making me laugh, but I do hate nightmares. Every once in a while if I watch Criminal Minds before bed, I have the oddest dreams. Never with such funny stories as yours though.
@mel: it’s on the inca trail, as you head downhill from the highest pass on the trail.
