| I don't recall the cub being there |
The other night I dreamt about a tiger that was pursuing me. It was warm out, there wasn't any snow. I was running around trying to hide between houses and behind trees. At times, there were others with me. I don't clearly remember but I think they were some of my kids.
I was very worried about this hungry tiger. He never caught anyone but nobody likes a tiger on your ass.
Why should you care?
You probably don't but this was my scary dream (not really nightmare intensity) and this is my blog, so you get tigers and read about a place where the shadows run from themselves.
Yellow tigers crouched in jungle in her dark eyes.
Ok maybe I need to turn the Ipod off hours before sleeping.
I can still remember learning about dreams. I did a report in high school about dreaming and the brain. I believe researchers had only recently discovered the importance of REM sleep which is the period when you dream.
Did you know, during REM, the activity of the brain's neurons is similar to that during waking hours, but the body is paralyzed. Occasionally, a person can wake up before the paralysis is gone and just can't move.
A few months ago I watched a PBS show about theories explaining why we dream. Very interesting stuff. Some believe dreaming helps us prepare for the future. One thing is very clear - dreaming is essential for normal daily activity.
Most of us have had those deja vu moments. Maybe you dreamt something like that moment before?
So if there is a tiger following me, I'll be prepared. Yeah right.
as the talking heads told us
"...This ain't no party this ain't no disco this ain't no fooling around...."
