the outside world invades my dreams...

[acroyear]

I remember in psychology class in high school hearing about cases where people who lived near railroad tracks sometimes had common visions of trains in their dreams...

well, this morning, I had dreams involving watching a lightning storm from a distance, getting closer and closer. finally, when it reach the point where we would have felt the rain...

...i woke up to a 2-inch/hour rainstorm pummelling the house outside.

go fig.

Per my college Sleep and Dreaming professor, the dreaming mind will incorporate outside stimuli into the dream as a way to remain asleep.

Oh, you mean like the morning of my calculus final, when my brain wouldn't let me hit the snooze button on the alarm clock until I'd solved the differential equation using the numbers on my alarm clock?

Oh. Nevermind.

yeah, but the ironic thing?

there wasn't any lighting associated with the storm that came through today.
