I got in trouble.......

My wife is NOT a "morning person" at all, and I learned over 30 years ago to not bother trying to talk to her until she has showered, and had breakfast.

Yesterday she was simply not talking to me at all. I had no idea why, but I was not going to push it.

Finally today she told me we was just really furious at me because she had a dream I had left her at a gas station and I had just driven off without her. I would no more do that than set my hair on fire. She just so mad at me she could not talk to me. And she understood it was just a dream! I was innocent.

Today all is back to normal. I just waited it out.

Women are weird. I lover her more than I can put into words, but I sure don't understand her brain sometimes. She is not usually like that.

I did not ask for details. That would remind her and made her mad again.

On our kitchen counter sits the coffee maker and the toaster side by side. My wife keeps the toaster unplugged and plugs it in when she uses it and unplugs it after. Coffee maker is always left pugged in.

I asked her why she does this. "I don't know, but I'm going to keep doing it."

There are several of these kind of stupid things she does and has no reason for doing it.

She was probably pissed because a Brad Pitt type didn't show to "rescue" her...

I've heard stories like this before. I think my wife woke up after a dream once and joked that she was mad, but she didn't actually act mad as if I'd actually done something.

I REALLY do not understand that sort of reaction to a dream. We all have our quirks.

What movie am I thinking of? A guy wakes up in a wooden shack in Mexico with no wallet or ID and can't remember how he got there.

^^ Not sure.
The ELR episode is when the Barone family travels thru the west on vacation. They stop at a gas station in NM and when leaving, forget Robert, their oldest son.
20 miles down the road...they realize he's not in the car. They return to pick him up and he tells them that some guy wanted to braid his hair.
Funny show.

You left her at a gas station? You heartless bastard.


Here I was, thinking I am the only guy who gets in trouble for what someone else dreams about. Not sure if I feel better for me, or sorry for Glen

They get mad if you can read their mind too. Better to not know what is going on in there.

fight fire with fire. make up an awesome dream right there on the spot. tell, her sorry for her nightmare, but you had the opposite dream where you two went on a romantic vacation, bought her jewelry, cooked dinner, made hot love and renewed your vows.

take that you crazed harpy! .

I just remembered the movie. The Game (1997) Michael Douglas... He woke up in a graveyard crypt.

Here is the correct response.

"But dear, don't you remember that I apologized to you in my dream !"

That was an experience Glen posted last year.

My wife gets mad at me all the time for stuff I do in her dreams.

She'd really be mad if she knew what I was dreaming about!
