Midnight Shopping

           When you're asleep, have you ever had a shopping dream? Usually I find gorgeous clothing, shoes, perfume, jewelry, and I take them all home.

          And then, whammo—I wake up. And I sit there in my PJs and pout. I spent what—hours—finding all those goodies, and now they’ve vanished into thin air. I feel like calling the police, but we all know how that would go.

          It’s worse than having a nightmare, because you’ve gotten your hopes up and now it’s all for naught. You don’t even know where those stores are, or what street they’re on. There is no way to ever find those outfits again.

Whereas, with a nightmare you wake up and it’s “Ahh… yes! That was only a dream.” And you go on, happy and relieved.

It’s like those dessert dreams where you’re about to bite into the most delicious-looking cake or pie you’ve ever seen and then suddenly WHAPP!  The alarm goes off and it’s gone.

I’ll tell you this. Next time someone says, “Sweet dreams,” I’m going to think twice about that.
