Probably not.
Today’s good sleep, the first solid, 8-hour sleep I’ve had in awhile, brought me two auditory dreams.
In my first dream…
…I once again heard the very clear knocking at my front door, a knocking that happened only in my head, not in the real world. The cloak of sleep was finally starting to wrap itself around me at approximately 6:00 AM, or maybe just a few minutes after that, when my eyes popped open at what I heard. Or at what I thought I’d heard. Three sharp, loud knocks at my front door.
Now, if someone had really wanted to rouse me at such an unGodly hour, they’d have repeated the knocks when I failed to respond. They’d have jostled my door knob, or something. But there were no further knocks. There was nothing after the three knocks that woke me, only silence.
Those three knocks were an auditory dream, nothing more.
In my second dream…
…I was “gifted” with an ear-worm. I woke with Glen Campbell’s “Wichita Lineman” in my mind’s ear. Now, I liked Glen Campbell years ago, but it’s been one heck of a long time since I’ve listened to any of his music. And there were no sounds in my real world, waking up life that might have planted that song in my head.
Where did it come from? Heck, I don’t know. Where do any dreams come from? Who knows? But there it was. A profound auditory dream.
