Very Strange Dream...

Okay, you guys are going to think I'm cracked, but last night, I had a very weird dream that actually made me question whether it was all in my imagination or whether I was honest to goodness talking to a friend that had died several years ago. The person in question was a co-worker who had died in her early forties from cancer. A bunch of us were going to sit down in a small movie theater to watch a show. I turned around and saw said person sitting behind me. She smiled. I debated talking to her because she was dead and she shouldn't be sitting there, but I decided to strike up a conversation anyway. Oh...between my friend and I, there was also this pale looking lady with blonde hair. She's not important now, but she will do something "interesting" later. I said, "hey, long time no see." My friend responded in kind. I told her that I missed her. She said, "I missed you too." Then, I asked her how things "were going up there" and what was it like. She paused, and gestured. It was kind of hard to interpret, but it sounded like either she was having a hard time putting it into words. Something in her expression also made me think that it wasn't necessarily better "up there" but different. Around the time this was happening, the pale looking lady that was sitting in between us started poking at me, trying to derail the conversation. I told her to leave me alone and then ignored her. My friend kept on talking. Some of it she had to mime, yet I could still hear her voice inside my head. It was something to the effect that there was less material stuff, but it was a place full of love. She was about to say more when the pale-faced woman went ape-shit and attacked me. She bit me a couple of times and started throwing up this black stuff up on me. My friend had to pull her off of me. Somebody had to call security to have her removed.

I wanted to finish talking to her some more, but I was distracted obviously. I was also starting to worry where the hell my purse went. And then, doomsey woke me up by coming into the room to get his stuff ready to take a shower. He mumbled something about one of the speakers on his computer shorting out overnight. o_O. I got up, set food out for the cats, and opened up my Facebook page to check on my Farm on Farmville. There was an ad for Audrey Niffenegger's new book-- which I want to read!-- called Her Fearful Symmetry. It's about a woman's afterlife. O_O!

I've dreamt about this co-worker before, and even that dream was a little weird. She also wanted to have a little chit-chat with me, but I was too busy running from something or other to talk to her. I told her something to the effect of, "it's great seeing you, and I really want to talk to you, but I gotta run from that monster back there that's chasing me. See you later!"

Huh...
