Dreams

[Dobie]

I've had this dream a few times a month for several years now - I have a HUGE bear phobia (I'm absolutely convinced that I'm going to die in a bear attack), so the dream is terrifying for me.


In the dream I'm sitting on my deck (which is about 20 feet off the ground) and looking into the kitchen of my house. Jim is in the house flipping pancakes with his back to me. A grizzly bear stands behind me (in the dream he's at least 20 feet tall because he's taller then then deck) and snatches me up and kills me. The entire time he's attacking me, I'm screaming for Jim - but all he does is flip pancakes.

I have another dream quite often where Jim and I are hiking with the dogs and a grizzly walks onto the trail. In the dream, Jim throws me to the ground and yells "Take her" to the bear. Then he grabs Ryssa (his favorite dog) and leaves me to be killed by the bear. (Jim actually gets mad when I have this dream, he's always like "I can't believe you think I would sacrifice you to save the dog" - like I can help what I'm dreaming).
