Anyone ever have a dream that seemed so realistic, that after you wake up, you kinda look around for the stuff that you got in your dream, swearing that it seemed so life like, that you had to have said items somewhere in your house.
I had a dream like that one time. Unfortunately the upshot or punchline of it had nothing to do with the stuff I might've acquired, but it was certainly unnerving.
I was in my late 20's when I had this dream. For whatever reason, I dreamed that I was about 9 years old again. And while I seem to be aging reasonably gracefully, let us be fair and say that the physical differences between 9 and 29 were rather distinct. The dream was extremely realistic. No unusual events took place in it. Usually if I have a "realistic" dream there's something in it to tip off my subconscious or something. Not this time. Entirely plausible from the time and place when I was nine years old.
Now, although I was living in a different house, the relative positions of my bed to the bedroom door and then to the bathroom were extremely similar. So I woke up, still not entirely out of this dream, made my way across the room, into the bathroom, looked in the mirror, and basically scared the hell out of myself wondering what had happened to me.
And no, I have absolutely no plans to go see that horror movie "Mirrors"...
