Lobster Bisque
I've always been told that I had bizarro dreams, but seriously, nothing tops the dream I had last night. Not when YM had puppies or when my mother mysteriously morphed into her mother. It started off with me going on a course that I really am on for.In the dream, I had completed the course and had returned to school. My colleagues, as they do in reality, had used the the time that I had been away to play a prank on me. This wasn't a regular prank though. It didn't consist of them putting porn on my computer as a screen saver or lining up all my markers as if they were candles on a birthday cake. It came in the form of first, guppies.
Yes, guppies. They had taken the sink out of my room- this was my old room in my grandma's house that had a sink in the bed room. Anyway, they had taken that out and replaced it with a trough of guppies. Unfortunately, my dad (like he did, years ago when I tried to keep a tadpole in my stoppered sink), came and pulled out the stopper to let all the water flow. He claimed that it would breed mosquitoes. Before I could retort that the guppies would eat the mosquito wrigglers, the water had drained and the guppies were wriggling and squirming at the lack of water at the base of the trough. Weird.
Fast forward and I'm going to bed. I have an uneasy feeling that there's something wrong with my bed so with superhuman strength only present in dream world, I lift up the mattress, only to find that there is a miniature beach under my bed. Soft sand and sandcastles complete with flags. But it doesn't end there. I see what looks like a crab stick (one of those red and white crab sticks you find in California handrolls)and tug at it. It is not a crab stick... a HUGE red lobster is attached to that crab stick. The crab stick is in fact one of its tentacles. So yes, there was a huge metre long lobster under my bed, complete with pincers and its flapping tail.
I tell myself rather logically in the dream that it's ok, it's not going to attack me because no one has ever been known to die from a lobster attack and it wouldn't have a reason to kill me since I don't even eat its kind. Almost telepathically, the lobster responds by very menacingly waving its claws in my direction which sends me running out of the room and having the spider man ability to scale a fireman's pole, out of the reach of the giant lobster.
At this point, I am transported back into the staff room and my colleagues are asking me if I enjoyed the lobster sashimi they planned for my return. That is when I realise that I was having an out of body experience because part of me was still watching the lobster look for me from my very high perch.
So I woke up this morning, extremely puzzled and wondering if indeed there was a lobster hidden under my bed. I doubt it, but if there was, Dan would be very pleased with being able to eat all the lobster sashimi he wanted to. I will just need to head out and buy some wasabi.

*ahem*
I believe I have been summoned
:)
but first...Ondine, yu really DO have strange dreams. Was it something yu ate???
anyway, dreemmoods.com says:
Lobster
To see a lobster in your dream, represents strength and persistence. You will hold your own ground and overcome minor difficulties and problems.
To dream that you are eating lobster, indicates that you will regain your confidence.
In this case though, yu were running AWAY from the lobster. So how? and they didn't have anything under guppies.
