The rhed brain isn't quite the same as a normal brain I suppose. I was fully engaged in a beauitful dream sometime before morning and after 1am. I was at a concert and the crowd was alive with energy and a powerful skunky aroma filled my lungs. The familar scent kept getting stronger and and stronger and I began to feel a bit lightheaded. In my dream I was wearing my purple and green butterflies wings (which is the normal for me at a concert) and I was twirling to the music, feeling the wet grass blades between my toes.. inhaling the sharp skunky aroma..
I couldn't breath, each breath I took was harder and harder than the last. I pushed my sleeping mind awake and arose quickly to both of my dogs barking loudly and frantically at me... inches from my face on my chest. The smell was overpowering. I pushed the dogs off of me and they quickly jumped back on top of me and barked crazily at me. The smell.. dang I recognize that smell.. who is pulling tubes in my house?
Slowly I began to see a small figure in the corner of the room and saw that I forgot to close the door last night before bed. It was a smelly little beast and I screamed so loud the poor little creature jumped nearly a foot off the ground and darted out the door. I quickly took a shower and spent all my lush soaps to try to remove the smell from my skin. "Happy Hippy" by Lush seemed to do the trick. :)
The story continues... the dogs were full of energy and needed to spend it, so even though it was two hours early...5am.. I ventured out for the morning dog walk.
We walked (ran) to the end of Azalea Trail and started to ascend Aspen when suddenly both dogs got very still and I could actually see the fur on their backs stand up. I noticed that there was a huge pile of trash in the middle of the road... (I thought to myself... why would someone dump trash in the middle of the road.) As I got closer the trash appeared to be moving... there was no turning back.... I was in the trash and suddenly a black bear rolled out a trash can that was in the middle of road.. he looked at me for a split second then darted out into the woods.... After my heart started beating again... I felt so alive. My life is a dream.. to anyone reading this, I hope your day is filled with magic and pleasant aromas...
