A dream I once had


Ever question what a dream means when you have one. I never bought a dream dictionary or anything but I do have some of the strangest dreams. The one that haunts me to this day is the dream I had that my husband, my two children and I were living at my mother's house. It was a dark and horrible morning, more like 5:00 a.m. My husband is downstairs getting an egg ready and I look out the front window and a giant squid is attacking my parent's neighbor's house. And just like in every horror movie it is absolute mayhem outside, people, screaming cars exploding, rain and thunder. I yell to my husband, who is a taekwondo master and can obviously defend us from this monster. I scream "Hurry and put on your superman suit, the giant squid is coming!" My husband looks at me and says very calmly "I must finish my egg first." What!!!! His egg is more important than getting on his superman suit and saving the world. What does this mean? His breakfast comes first? The squid is so slow that he can cook an egg, get dressed and still save the world? Why do I dream these strange dreams? What does it say about my psyche that I want to see my husband in a superman suit?
Sometimes I am a wonder even to myself.
