A Recurring Dream

For maybe the last 20 odd years, I have had this recurring dream. It's not every night. Usually I can't remember every dream I've had during the night. But, I do remember this one. It varies a little bit each time, but not much. It always involves me being under some kind of threat. Usually, I am about to be killed. So, I always try to find a phone to call the police. Trouble is, sometimes, I never find the phone. Or, other times, I will find a phone and it doesn't work. Last night, in my dream, I encountered an intruder in our back yard. I had my cell phone and tried to call the police. Oddly enough, I didn't try to call 911, but the number that goes directly to our local police department. (I even remembered it correctly in the dream!) I would push the numbers correctly, but the display was showing different numbers. Someone picked up on the other side, but it was a wrong number. I was just on the verge of figuring out with numbers to push to get the proper display, when I woke up.

Now, here's the weird part.... Yesterday, when I was at Sam's Club, there was this woman who was taking the same path I was through the store. The whole time she was following me, she was yakking rather loudly on her cell phone. She was telling the person on the other end that she had an intruder in her backyard recently and had to use her cell phone to call the police. So, I am thinking that maybe that conversation carried through into my dream later that night. Strange......
