Last night as I was
Posted by: Liz | From: May 22, 2003
Last night as I was drifting off to sleep, my doorbell rang. It was pretty late for doorbells to be ringing, so of courseit caused a light panic to arise in my chest. But my roommate leaned out her window and couldn't see anyone by the door. We stood there for a minute, deciding it had just been some kids playing around or something when the doorbell rang again! Now my roommate had just looked out and saw there was no one there, but J went down gamely and peaked out the door. No one there again. That gives me the shivers. Ghosty doorbell ringers. In any case, this inspired something in my subconcious to give me dreams about scary people rattling my doorknobs and trying to break in. I knew I was asleep and thought that I was really hearing these scary noises, but couldn't wake up to react to them. So I kept trying to break through my dream haze and yell to J to check it out. I really thought I was getting through the dream and talking loudly. When I finally did awake for real, it was just like regular waking up and I realized I hadn't been shouting or thrashing about at all, but merely sleeping. It always feels slightly disconcerting to wake up in a panic to find your body has been resting calmly through your turmoil. --------Post a comment:
