Dreaming Doggie

Mood Today:



My seventeen-year old furbabee had a nightmare last night. He's the only one of my dogs that consistently wakes me up in the middle of the night at least once a year with his sleep-crying. If you have never heard a doggie crying in his sleep, it's somewhat between a mid-yelp and a baby having a tantrum. And it always sounds like he's in horrible pain, so you're sitting up in bed, half-asleep and panicking. The first time I heard Brando having a nightmare I fell out of bed getting to him, thinking he'd hurt himself or something.

I always wonder what he was dreaming about that had him so afraid. Some nights he'd hide his head under my nightie while I comforted him, fully waking him up and then talking to him like one would to a child. What is a dog's biggest fear? A huge scary monster-dog? Giant rabbits coming back for revenge?

And if he dreams about monsters, then he must dream of goodies too. Do dogs have sexy dreams? ;-) I know my seventeen year-old is ancient in doggie years, but he still thinks he's a stud, chasing the ladies when they're in heat. It cracks me up because he could barely climb anything, so he just parks himself in front of the girl and whines and begs. I guess males of ALL SPECIES have similar tactics, heh.

Have you ever watched the episode in Everyone Loves Raymond where he was begging his wife for sex during Christmas? Of course everyone and everything kept interrupting and he grew more and more desperate. Well, Brando sort of sounds like Raymond when he's begging his girls here. :-D

So here comes the inevitable plot spoiler for those of you who have read this far....If two people were hooked to a Brain Entrainment Machine and undergo virtual reality training and sleep with their brainwaves modulated, enhanced, reprogrammed (whatever you wanna call it), wouldn't they too start to simul-dream? And if they simul-dream, would their altered states connect at the dream level?

Just wonderin'.
