Other Types of Dreamlike Experiences

Meg:   I had this one dream where somehow I was wheeled from the hospital onto the beach.  I don't exactly remember how the logistics of that worked.  But I do remember being wheeled back from the beach to a bar and Uncle Doug (a Hawaiian friend with a great voice) was playing his ukulele and singing a Hawaiian song for me.  Now in real life, my husband said that Uncle Doug really was in my room, and he really was playing his ukulele and singing a Hawaiian song for me.  At the end of the song, Tom harmonized with Uncle Doug.  Now Tom is a great musician, and a killer piano player, but I have to say, when it comes to vocals, that's my department.  Now supposedly, I was in a coma, but according to Tom, when he harmonized on that last note, I made a weird, sour face, as if to say "EEEWWW TOM!  You were flat!!!"  He said that when I did that, he smiled because he knew that the old Meg was deep down in there somewhere - that is EXACTLY something I would do!
