But it was loud. It was really angry. It felt to me that it was angry that we were there. Why wasn't it attacking, though? That's what I kept wondering. It could have easily climbed up to where we were. We were trapped. I was scared. Could we climb one of the trees? Then what??
It just kept thrashing about down below us, occasionally stopping to look up at us - eyes looking directly into mine as it huffed and puffed. It was me. I was the reason it was so pissed.
And then I realized that it wasn't going to come up. All this violent activity was just posturing, to try to make us go. To try to make me go. If it was going to come up and eat us, it would have done it a long time ago. Once I realized that, the bear calmed down. It gave me one last long deep look, then turned and walked away. Just like that.
Did we have an understanding now? What did I understand?
Relieved, I checked my phone messages. It was my friend Judy from high school. She wanted me to start working with her at Walgreens so that I could fill in for her when she wanted to take a day off.
Sure, why not?

Then I woke up.
Dreams. Do they ever make sense?

Appropriate title! :) I bet a psychologist would have a field day with that dream.
I wonder if you've found your next career - bear whisperer/drug store clerk...
Interesting dream! I wonder what it meant and I wonder what the bear was so angry about :o well, besides you being there on its turf. xD
I'm no Freud, some might think it means that you have a hard decision to make - you know what you need to do but it is still hard nonetheless. Or someone wants you do do something and is not happy if you don't do it their way. But, to me, it means you need to lay off the spicy foods before bedtime.
I think he was pissed because a bunch of mud runners had just charged through his territory!
I think I'll just keep this one from the psychologists. No need to break out any red flags.
He was kind of cute except for the big teeth!
Hmmm... very insightful, Agg - "you know what you need to do but it is still hard nonetheless".
Yeah, I need to tend to that catbox. Might as well face it.
Of course! It all makes sense now!
So last night I had a dream that a bunch of dogs were angrily barking at me when I pulled into the dark, hotel parking lot. It didn't take long for me to realize it was deserted and I was terrified the dogs would break loose soon. Wonder what inspired that dream?? :)
I'd say we've tapped into the collective mud consciousness!
