You Know That Bridge Between Consciousness/Unconsciousness?
I had just had this horrifying nightmare where four of my front teeth had loosened in their sockets and were dangling by long nerve ending strings, while I frantically tried to screw them back into my head to no avail. Dangling and swaying in the wind, my teeth had to be stuffed into my mouth with my lips bulging like a fish as a last resort.
I awoke with a start at around 11 in the morning, with one of those weird sleep-to-awake twitches, to what I thought was the sound of my mom or dad knocking on my door, even though I'm at school and my parents are a state away.
Then I had the following strange train of thought:
-- Awww, Mom and Dad, you're still both watching over me, from up there in heaven.
-- Wait. In heaven?? I'm not religious!!!
-- Wait. What? MY PARENTS AREN'T DEAD!!!!
Then my alarm clock rang, and mere seconds later my cell phone rang, and then mere seconds after THAT, one of my suitemates burned something in the kitchen and made the fire alarm go off.
