Lucid Dreams = Weird Looks from Pets

First of all, let me apologize. This actually happened on Thursday night/Friday morning.

(Backstory: for any of you that have been living under a rock for the past 2 weeks, there was a supposed terrorist link arrested in a suburb of Denver).

I always dream very vividly, but when I preface sleep with wine I dream very lucidly. With that being said, I laid my head down after chatting with my great boyfriend in anticipation of what dreams would come. I often incorporate sounds from real life into my dreams, so I was dreaming that this 'terrorist' was setting off bombs in downtown Denver. I am sure I was kicking and moving a lot which probably pissed off Shame because it was so lifelike.

Then the big boom came! Rattling windows and shaking walls caused me to wake up (I use the term loosely) throw the covers off my bed, grab my Shame and Nugget and hide in the closet. It took about 30 seconds for me to come out of my sleep and really realize what was happening (plus, Nugget was blinking at me like it should make a 'clink' sound when his eyelids touched, and Shame just had a look of general distaste that was probably eating away at my sleep).

I heard another bang, but this time, it was a familiar sound. Ahh, thunder.

I went back to sleep and dreamed that I was famous and everyone was taking my picture when lightening flashed outside.
