I awake to an unpleasant experience

I rarely remember dreams. Perhaps once a month IÂ’ll remember a snippet or two but itÂ’s rare. This morning I was dreaming that I was taking a pee. At some point my eyes shot open and I ran for the bathroom and peed.

My wife woke up to find me feeling the bed for wet spots.

“What the hell are you doing?” she asked.

“I think I peed the bed.”

“What?”

“I said, I think I peed the bed!”

Now both of us were up and searching for pee. Then she realized that I was standing there in my underwear.

“Are they dry?”

I felt them.

“Yeah. They are.”

She reached over and touched them.

“They’re dry. You didn’t pee the bed. Are you fucking going nuts are what?”

After a fifteen minute reality check I realized that I didnÂ’t pee the bed. But the dream was so real. So vividly real. I dreamed I peed the bed. I thought I peed the bed.

In a parallel universe, IÂ’m certain I peed the bed. Dreams suck.

1 Well, they can't possibly suck as much as the parallel universe where you actually pissed the bed. Can you imagine? Right in front of your old lady and everything. I mean, there's more silver lining to this than there is cloud - you didn't piss yourself. You gotta take those small victories with you man, it's what keeps people going. Hell, sometimes it's all a guy like me has: "Thank you Jesus, for watching over me last night and making sure I didn't piss the bed. My day is going to be great, I can just feel it."

2 This one time at band camp....actually it was at my house...I woke to the sounds of what sounded like water splashing. I think some actually hit me. It was dark and I couldn't possibly imagine what in the name that all is holy was going on. Is our roof leaking? Did I spill my glass of water? I was just as discombobulated as my husband who is peeing in the plaque my kids made for him.

3 I've had that experience myself. Sheer unadulterated terror, followed by unimaginable relief when you realize you didn't piss the bed, followed by a lingering unsettled feeling and nervousness about going back to sleep. It truly sucks.

4 At least it wasn't poo.

5 I actually did pee the bed, once. Right before I stopped mixing Alka-Seltzer Cold Medicine with copious quantities of alcohol.
