When no one else is around...you can't count on me, sister!

---

Hmm. Another delicious autumn day. Was driving with the sunroof open and Massive Attack's "Protection" blasting on the stereo. I couldn't stop going over what a friend had just said.

Rewind twenty minutes earlier...

My friend was telling me that she recently had a very weird/disturbing dream. Then she told me that I was in it.

My mind blanked for a second. Uh oh.

Apparently in this dream, she felt she had been either raped or threatened by a strange man. I instinctively cringed. I asked hestiantly, "Uh...that wasn't me, was it?"

Apparently not. Nevertheless, she was feeling very terrified and scared. In the dream, I was the only person around, so she had asked me to walk her back home. And what did I do?

I refused! I actually refused to walk her home! Jeesh. What a jerk!

When she told me what I had "done", I had to laugh. Obviously, my reputation seems to proceed me...even in peoples' dreams. But on second thought, it is a bit eerie. Don't you think? Ok, so it was someone else's dream and I had no say over anything. But still. Very disturbing...
