Fight Night

The other night I had a really odd dream. I think it came about because I got into a Halloween discussion with some co-workers during lunch.

In my dream, I was in this fun-house type place, and we (me and who I believe was one of my co-workers) were running away from these ghouls of some sort. At one point, my co-worker pointed wildly behind me as something was approaching. I froze in my tracks and called out for help.

In the real world, I was grunting, or moaning in my sleep, waking wifey up and naturally causing a bit of concern.

Dream state: whatever was approaching was now right next to me. It was only about four feet high, and it began to headbutt me in my rib cage.

Real world: Wifey is pushing against my side to try to wake me.

Dream state: Being pretty much frozen to the ground from where I stood, I couldn't see what this 4 foot aggressor was. Mustering up all my courage, I remembered my years of martial arts training, spun around, closed my eyes, and sissy slapped whatever was next to me like there was no tomorrow.

Real world: Wifey is now wide awake and yelling herself, because I was sissy slapping her like there was no tomorrow.

Wifey was ok, as I purposely held back on my most powerful sissy slaps. There was some suggestion that I perhaps consider sleeping on the couch, but we'll save the more extreme solutions should this be a recurring problem...
