Dreams

Do you remember your dreams? Have you ever had a dream where you're doing something in your dream and then physically carried that out in real life? Sleep walking and sleep talking are one thing, but I mean whatever you're dreaming you are actually doing but don't even realize it!? I've had many dreams where I wake up and think thank GAWD I didn't do that and it was just a dream. I'm a vivid dreamer and usually they are WILD and crazy dreams.  But before last night I had never physically carried out anything that I was dreaming before... sure I talk A LOT in my sleep but last night I was dreaming about taking off my rings and then was freaking out because I couldn't find them. I woke up and and didn't think much of the dream until I found my beautiful engagement ring laying in the bed, and my wedding band was put on upside down... 

Weird? Scary? YA! It freaked me out but then I remembered hearing a story about a man in the UK who actually killed his wife in his sleep! I'm not kidding. Read this article:

"Brian Thomas, 59, dreamt that intruders had broken into the couple’s camper van, and then killed his wife Christine while in a state known as automatism."

The sad part is he really didn't mean to (because there really are so many sick people who actually want to murder their wives) and thankfully in this case the jury let him walk free.  Can you imagine the guilt he'll have to live with for the rest of his life? I think that's worse than any jail time. 

I hope my automatism doesn't turn into more than just taking off my rings in my sleep!! Hubby maybe you should sleep with one eye open!
