I ended up sleeping on the couch one night a while back…

But before I get into the reason for that… let me tell you about a dream I had… 

To be honest, my dreams don’t often stick in my memory, but for various reasons… this one sure did…

In my dream, I am in what appeared to be, a large and well manicured formal garden… like you would find in the grounds of a grand English mansion…

Mansion Gardens 

I am on the outside of a large hedged courtyard…   On the other side of the hedge… I can make out the sound of children’s laughter…  

 Courtyard 

Curiosity gets the better of me… and as I push my way through the hedge… I can see that there are two small children… a boy and a girl… on the far side of the courtyard… laughing and giggling as they huddle over the object of their attention… which is located on a courtyard bench…  

They see me the moment I enter the clearing… and quickly scatter into the hedge on the far side…   so I cross the courtyard to find out what was amusing them…  

As I draw closer… I can see that there is an orange tabby cat… sitting quietly on the bench… facing away from me…  

As I approach the bench… the cat becomes aware of my presence… and turns toward me…  it is then that I am taken aback…  

There… glued firmly to its little ginger head… is a pair of thick, coke bottle glasses…

The glasses magnify the cat’s eyes way out of normal proportion…  

Because of the thick lens in the glasses… and due to the heavy magnification focused at the edge of each lens… the cat cannot simply move its eyes to look around… instead… it must move its entire head… up… down… and around… to be able to see anything… 

So there I am… staring into this cute little tabby’s enormous oversized eyes… 

 Puss in Specs

It is then of course, that I spontaneously burst into a fit of laughter… so loud in fact, that I wake not only myself, but my girlfriend at the time who is sleeping beside me…  

She obviously politely asks me what the hell is going on… so I proceed to explain my dream to her in detail…  

And that is why I had to sleep on the couch…  

Apparently even my subconscious can be a prick… 

For dreaming it in the first place… and secondly for laughing…

Cat people… hmmph… who knew they were so sensitive?

DISCLAIMER:  No cats were harmed in the making of this dream… although one no longer suffers from the problem of hyperopia…
