I had the craziest dream last night!
I was in my bedroom – which was actually the bedroom I grew up in, but decorated differently – and was working on my laptop. Nothing unusual about that, except something kept taking control of my cursor/mouse and moving it around, clicking on things, opening other tabs, files, windows, etc. It was like someone was entering my computer through remote access. I would try to shut it down to break the connection, but every time I did, it would reboot itself and go back into my account and start going through files again.
I noticed at one point that when it rebooted, someone was typing in my password (again, remotely) and that was how they were getting in. So I tried several times to reset my password, but they would just get the new one. I also remembered several incidents in which I would remember shutting down my laptop to take to work and then when I would pull it out at work, it would be turned on. So after multiple attempts to break the connection, I freaked and called my computer guru friend, Shawna. Well, when I called, Riley answered (and sounded sicker than a dog, poor thing! By the way, have you ever wondered where that phrase comes from?) and said that Shawna was out, but she could tell that I was freaking. Shawna finally got home and just as I was starting to explain what the heck was going on, my mom led this girl into my room. She was really skinny with dark hair, and she started to explain that she’s been trying to block my computer intrusions, but couldn’t do it anymore. Apparently, it had been space aliens, of which she was one. Uh-huh.
So that led to another part of my dream in which we were running from them, but on another planet or something where they had taken us. This part of the dream is a bit foggier.
So I woke up wondering where the hell any of this came from (especially the alien part) and then remembered. Oh yeah, I was reading “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” before bed…..
