2. My parents' guest room had a trundle bed in it. S got the top and I slept on the bottom, we chose not to pop up the bottom bunk. All was well Saturday night.
Sunday night (well, Monday morning), I woke up and saw the horrifying shadow of a man standing over me by the windows. I screamed, I punched, I kicked.... I was going to dominate my attacker and survive this horrible ordeal.
Turns out, it was a nightmare. One where I was screaming out loud, flailing around, in real life. S reached out to subdue me. To try and shut me up, before I woke up my parents and the whole neighborhood. I finally woke up for real, S told me to settle down and I went back to sleep.
Monday morning, we were up at 4am, out the door and headed to the airport....

....and, somehow, S ended up with a black eye (that keeps getting worse more purple every day). He says I kicked him in the face during my nightmare. There are no witnesses, so it's his word against mine.
3. At the airport, security flagged my bag to check after X ray. Oh oh, I forgot to take my toiletries out. Nope, they went right to my velcro pouch and dug out our race medals (I had both of them). The suitcase and medals had to go back through X ray. In all my travels, this had never happened before.
Apparently, the machine can't see through the medals. All of the security guards hovered around the X ray screen to view how the medals looked. I warned them they would be seeing lots of them!
I hope I saved some other RNR Arizona runners the hassle of getting their bags searched.
Have you ever hurt someone during a dream?

How weird about the medal. I had mine in a pocket of my shoulder bag and it went through screening with no problems. In fact, I always put my medal in the same spot in my shoulder bag and don't take it out. Maybe it was okay because it was the only thing in that pocket?
Oh my good goodnes- Poor S! LOL. I have never had a bad dream like that so my hubby has been safe so far. :-)
I am sure you saved thousands of runners a huge headache on Monday. They should be thanking you!
Ooops! I've never had a dream like that!! That bed with the trundle is awesome! Did you feel like you were having a sleepover?!
Isn't it a crazy funny coincidence that you were just saying last week if that man left the toilet seat up one more time, you'd black his eye?? Bahaha just kidding! Sorry about the shiver, but glad you're self-protect instincts are in good working order!
oh poor S! That is crazy about security. :)
is it mean i think its funny you gave S a black eye in your sleep?? Sorry S. I've been stopped numerous times for my medals, once for mini pumpkins, and several times for my stick.
HAHAHAAA I am DYING. Poor S. Haaaaaaaaa.
Poor S! He doesn't look very pleased...Lucy, you got some makin' up to do!
That must have been an intense dream! Your 'attacker' wouldn't have stood a chance, but the black eye on S, sad but kinda funny lol.
Haha, poor S! I once injured MYSELF during a dream! I was dreaming that little monkeys were attacking me while I was trying to drive. They kept trying to scatch my neck, and when I finally woke up I had neck skin under my finger nails, and numerous bloody streaks down my neck. Talk about creeping myself out!! Of course it's kind of funny now :)
OMG! poor S!! that must've been a terrible, terrible dream. At least we know you're a fighter, right? :) never had that happen with a medal.
Oh yikes, that's an awful nightmare. And poor S with his black eye!
Never got my medals taken out and I always fly with them in my carry on. But during the last trip, they compalined about my apple sauce! They almost took it from me. Poor S, this looks painful!
Poor S! I talk in my sleep but so far I don't think I've given out a shiner. I guess we all know not to mess with you!
OMG! Poor S!
I've had nightmares lately, but so far both R and Peanut are still intact...
Don't tell S ... but I totally can't stop giggling over this!
