Whine and Cheese

Sugar before bed will usually trigger freaky dreams for me. I hardly ever have them now (my rest is too important!) but I remember as a kid having a scary dream about the giant tumbleweeds from an episode of "Outer Limits" -- the weeds were invading our house, but in my dream my oldest sister calmly said to me, "You know it's just a dream, so why don't you just wake up?" That was maybe the freakiest part of it, because then I just said to myself "oh, yeah" and felt myself sinking out of the dream and waking up. Of course many other dreams have been FAR less linear or logical.
