Nightmares

I like when my sleep is calm like the ocean. I don't like choppy sleep.  Last night I fell asleep during the Greg Gutfeld Show. I took my Baby outside to do her business, and as we walked down the front steps, she darted away from me. She ran up the driveway into the street, and I charged after her in heavy pursuit.  I had my eye on her, and saw a huge bus flying down the street right in her path. I screamed and in a flash the bus hit her head on. I saw her face so clear and her little body annihilated. I could not stop screaming. It was all so real. My eyes popped open as wide as a deer in headlights and I lay there, frozen. Next to me, my hubby was sleeping peacefully, and I could not believe my screaming did not wake him.

My Baby Girl woke up, walked over to me and we had a licking, hugging fest for about five minutes. Is it possible? I mean does anyone know if dogs dream? Could she have had the same dream? I have heard her whimper and have seen her shake sometimes when she is sleeping. 

                                           

She walked to the end of the bed, chewed her toy for a while and fell asleep.  Of course my brain would not turn off, and it was only 1:10.  I felt like I had been sleeping forever, and yet I still had to get through the rest of the night. "I Couldn't Sleep At All Last Night", kept playing on the jukebox in my head. I must have dozed off because at 5:05, I was up again.  This time my baby came over and licked my fingers. It's very strange she didn't want to go outside. It's still so dark at that time of the morning. I feel so blessed that this was a nightmare and not reality, even though it seemed so real at the time.
