I'm a Strange Person with Strange Dreams

Ok, try yelling "Go away!" without moving your tongue. That is what I awoke to very early this morning.

I dreamt that the Calgary LRT was now a cross Canada railway. My sister and I boarding for our trip and security would not let anyone board the train with food. All the passengers were very upset because they had just bought powdered lemon filled doughnuts at Tim Hortons (which you had to pass through to get to the train). Security was insistent that no food be brought aboard because someone had been littering small styrofoam plates all over the train. Everyone quickly ate their doughnuts before boarding.

As my sister and I board the train, all the other passengers were my former homeroom class. We were having a difficult time walking to our train car since the floors were made of rolling metal rods to combat littering (obviously). We eventually make our way to our sleeper car and quickly fell asleep.

I awoke (in my dream) to two shadowy figures, sporting ball caps and long ponytails, dumping garbage bags full of styrofoam plates all over the floor. I was too tired to get up to stop them so with all my might I shout "Go away!" without moving my tongue. I shouted so loud I woke myself up for real. It was 6:15am (prime-time for chumps to wake up).

This is second time in my life that I have woken myself up by shouting in my sleep.

that's the most hilarious dream!! So detailed, but I can't believe it's only the second time you've ever woken yourself by yelling in your sleep! the other day I woke myself up trying to blow smoke rings in the air!

There were way more details that I remember that I did not blog about. Not necessary.
Most of the time in my dreams I can't talk or do something because I'm too tired. I am notorious for dreaming that I need to wake up then forcing myself awake. I usually don't realize that I'm dreaming when this happens. The brain is a funny thing.
