I have the ability to remember my dreams in detail and to dream in colour. Dreaming in colour is not an ability, I suppose, but it is to Julien, who seldom remembers his dreams.
Last night, I dreamt that there was this guy who was in love with this rich girl, and this rich girl’s maid also had a crush on the guy, so during a party the maid was wearing a blue flimsy corset that showed off her boobies (my dream took place in the 16th century, I think). Of course, the guy asked the rich girl to dance, which set the maid off. Suddenly the dream shifted to a bedroom where the maid pretended she was the rich girl and the guy, for some reason, didn’t see that she was the maid so they proceeded to lie down on the bed.
That’s where my dream ended, because at that precise moment, someone lunged for my foot and bit my toe.
The toe-biting incident occured at 5:20 am, and the culprit, as you may have already guessed, was Julien. He had just come out of the shower and saw my foot poking out of the comforter. My foot, he said in his defense, was moving. Which is why he thought I was awake. Which is why he decided to jump onto the bed, still a bit damp from his shower, burrow himself under the comforter, grab my foot and bite it (a playful bite, of course, as he would never really bite me)
“I was sleeping!” I howled once I’d recovered from shock. “You woke me up, you dink! I had a dream and I wanted to finish it!”
“But… your foot, it was moving, like this.” He went under the comforter and started moving his foot to re-enact the scene that led to toe-biting. “I’m really sorry… were you really asleep?”
When he left for work I couldn’t fall asleep anymore, and as we send emails to each other during the day I wrote him a few hours later and added as an afterthought:
PS. I couldn’t sleep last night. Then, this morning someone lunged for my foot and bit it.
to which he replied:
BTW: if someone bites your toe in the morning, it means that he likes you.
Sometimes he reminds me of Calvin, and sometimes, like this morning, he reminds me of Hobbes.
