Dream sharing

[vaneramos]

This is one of the strangest coincidences I have experienced.

Last night I slept beside a friend. I dreamt I stood on a dock and saw a snapping turtle swim through shadowy green water below. It disappeared under the dock. Suddenly a huge snake with a large head appeared underwater and darted after it. I couldn't see, but knew it must have caught the turtle. Then three of these huge snakes appeared, winding around one another.

On waking, I couldn't remember any dreams, only that I had had some strange ones. We were lying quietly, holding one another. I asked my friend how he had slept.

"Well," he said. "But I had a strange dream."

"What did you dream about?"

He had dreamt about an actress I donn't know, who used to date k.d. lang and played a character on The L Word. In his dream an anaconda had wrapped itself around her and was forcing its head into her mouth.

I immediately remembered my own dream, and realized the huge underwater snakes were anacondas, too. A little strange, don't you think?
