Katrina in Wonderland
Normally I can get to sleep very easily, but lately I haven't been so I've been taking a sleeping aid that I bought for my boyfriend. It takes him 30 minutes on a good night to fall asleep. I think it was because of the stress of last week got to me. So I decided to take one on Sunday. I was going to stop since they make me have very freaky and bazaar dreams, but I wanted to be well rested for Monday. I should have listened to my gut feeling...
To make things simple so I don't have to explain who they were in my dream, here's a list of
characters:
Caterpillar: director of licensing
Hare: CCO
Mad Hatter: VP
Mouse: an admin
I'm stick in a forest with trees too vibrant to be real. I'm dressed like Alice in Wonderland so I figure I'm supposed to find a place to take a nap like she did. Suddenly I'm being chased by a white bunny with beady little red eyes! (Bunnies are truly evil, you'd know if you ever read Pet Shop of Horrors...never feed them people food even if they want it...never!) As he chased me he starts to grow larger and larger and soon enough I trip and fall on the ground. As I look up in horror as the bunny towers over me I start to sink into the earth where I land on a mushroom. As I look around me I see a Caterpillar next to me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked surprised to see her. She shouldn't be here. Where was here? I wonder as I look around and see nothing, but pitch black around us. It was as if a spot light is on us.
"I don't know what I'm doing here. Don't you know?" she replies in a drawn out tone as she looks down on me.
"I don't know either. You shouldn't be here though. How do I get out of here?" I ask as I look around again. The spot light that was on us starts to dim and enclose around us. I can feel my heart starting to race as I panic.
"Why don't you just mimic me if you want to leave?" she said as she poofed into thin air.
"How the hell can I mimic you when you haven't told me how to poof too?" I screamed after her.
Sudden I found myself on a path. I can't see anything around me, but a clearly lit pathway. As I walk forward the path behind me starts to dim and disappear. I start to panic again and run as fast as I can to where ever it leads to. At the end of the pathway I find myself at the Mad Hatter's house. He's having a tea party.
"Come join us!" he calls out to me waving me over.
I rush through the gate and happily take a seat in between him and the Hare.
"Why in the HELL am I the Hare?" the Hare growls looking at me.
"I don't know. Why are you the Hare?" I say as I started to laugh as I look at them. (If you knew what they look like and the fact our CCO was in a brown bunny costume with the face cut out you'd find it funny too.)
"Time to change seats!" the Mad Hatter calls out and I'm pushed into another seat.
"Why? I just started to drink my cup of tea," I say in a whiney voice.
"Who knows why? Who cares why? It's time to change seats!" says the Hare as he moves across from me.
Suddenly the Mouse pops her head out of the tea pot she was in and says, "Don't you look pretty." Without waiting for a reply she leaves as fast as she appears. By now I'm incredibly confused. I'm being pushed from one chair to the next and the Mad Hatter keeps pouring me cups to tea.
Needless to say I woke up with a headache and I still have no idea why I had that dream. I've had odd dreams before, but taking a sleeping aid just insures that my dreams will be very weird. I've sworn off sleeping aids after that last dream. I felt drugged all day yesterday and it didn't wear off until around 7 last night.
