A Terrible Nightmare

Research says that we dream every single day when we fall into the REM stage of sleep. But we don't remember it becoz we go from 1 stage of sleep to another. Once gone from the REM stage, we won't be able to remember the dream we had. Yet, we enter into the REM stage many times a night as we sleep. We've had so many, so many dreams but can remember few.

Been remembering my dreams a lot lately. I guess it's becoz I tend to wake up near daybreak & when I fall back asleep, I'll start dreaming. I'll still be dreaming when the alarm goes off & hence I can remember my dreams. What I had this morning was more of a nightmare though.

I've been at my in law's for a few weeks now. I only return home once a week over the weekends to bathe the dogs. Why? I'm running. I can no longer stand living at home. Being constantly pestered for money. I went back home only to find a shaved down, botak Ton Ton. I started yelling & screaming at my parents. I demanded to know why they shaved him. They said that becoz I've been away for so long, his fur has become badly matted & his fur was all brown in colour from being dirty. I continued crying & ranting away. I insisted that I would have been able to dematt him & give him a good bath.

I felt so hysterical in my dream. There was nothing I could do to reverse it. I can still remember how he looks in botak cut. It isn't too hard to imagine coz he looks just as though he's wet through but without the fur. Wait till itchy Serene reads this!

I've been feeling very guilty for leaving my dogs at home. Why only Ton Ton in my dream? I guess it's becoz he's the only 1 whose coat needs daily care & I'm not around to provide it. I feel terrible everytime I go home. They'll be so happy & excited. Until I leave the house. They'll follow me with their eyes & jump onto the sofa that's against the living room window. They stick their head & paws through the window grills, as if asking for 1 more pat, for 1 more hug, for 1 more kiss. They're like begging me not to leave them. Oh, I love them so much! It wouldn't be long. We're moving back this weekend. I can't wait to see them tomorrow evening.
