Odd semi-lucid dreaming

[avram]

Strange dream this morning. I dreamed that I woke up in bugsybanana’s apartment (formerly mine, formerly both of ours). In the dream I was aware that I had gone to sleep in my current apartment, and couldn’t figure out how I’d gotten to hers. I figured maybe it was a dream, and stood there (in the dream) with my eyes closed, visualizing my current apartment and trying to assert what I knew must be reality over my apparent surroundings. It didn’t work.

Then my (real world) alarm rang, and I woke up, hit snooze, and fell back asleep into the dream, taking with me the knowledge that it was a dream. Bugsy was there now, and I explained to her how she wasn’t really there, because it was a dream. And I noticed the extra room. (Whenever I dream about someplace I’ve lived, there’s always an extra room that wasn’t there in real life; sometimes several. Not always the same room, but sometimes.)
