Weird dream

[fbhjr]

Last night I dreamed that I was walking through a park or something similar
with snow on the ground at about the level that is outside these days.

As I walked along, a large, floppy, beat up hat came floating over to me as
if someone invisible was wearing it.
It stood next to me for a moment and then gave an evil laugh.
I realized it was Freddy Krueger from the Nightmare on Elm Street
movies.
Dream ends

I only saw a couple of that film franchise movies as I’m not a big horror
movie fan. But, in the ones I remember if you see him in your dreams, then
he comes and kills you soon after.
I have no idea what it would mean if you only see his hat.
Is my hat going to die a terrible death in the next day or two? I hope
not, I like that hat.

My worry is, as is so often the case, for my sister. She turns 65 one
month from today, and her mother died at the age of 45. Yes, I have not
heard from my sister in 18 ½ years, but that does not stop me from worrying
about her.

My grandmother had dreams that bothered her when she got older. Every time
one of her eight siblings was going to die, she had a dream about a figure
of death coming to see her and pointing to the sibling that was going to
die.
I’m and engineer and a big skeptical about such things. But, I was old
enough to remember the last 5 of her siblings dying and heard her talk
about the dream less than a week before all of them. For the ones that
were in the hospital and not doing well, it wasn’t that much of a stretch.
But, two of them were quite sudden and unexpected by everyone except my
grandmother.
It only worked with siblings. She did not have the dream before my
grandfather died, or the only one of her grandchildren who have died so
far. (My cousin Stephen.)

So, hopefully some evil hat is not chasing my sister through the snow of
Rockford Illinois. Maybe it will go after my brother instead. That would
still be sad, but I’ve never gotten along as well with him as my sister.


While on the subject of invisible pursuit in my dreams:
Friday night I dreamed I was being chased across the snow by a dog sled. I
could see no dogs or person on the sled driving the dogs. And, it made no
sound.
When I woke up from the dream in the very faint light of our bedroom I
thought I saw a miniature dog sled perched on top of the bookcase next to
our bed.
So, I took the blue laser pointer and used it on the glow in the dark
Godzilla finger puppet on the top shelf. Once it was glowing pretty
well I could see nothing but that and the plush Dalek up there and went
back to sleep.
