Nightmare and Dream

smokingbootUgh! Bit dramatic. Not as dramatic as real life but still.
In my dream, I was in the little study where I am sitting and typing now. I looked at the door to see a sofa moved across it. The sofa was covered in a white dustsheet and it thoroughly obstructed the way out. I could have climbed out through the window of course, but why should I have to struggle to use my own door? So I pushed the sofa out of the way, only to see it pushed right back into the same position by an invisible force. I tried again, only this time the couch shoved straight across at me and pinned me right against the wall, crushing my body harder and harder. I started screaming for my mother and was woken by Russ. I knew my screams were real, I could hear them on waking. They surrounded me like stereo in my head and outside it.
Feeling momentarily for Princess Diana and anybody anywhere who dies in a car crash, thanking God that R is alive and OK though still in shock today. I somehow managed to go to sleep again. And there I was with Lion Man, a good friend. We were in an ancient city. He is in Rome right now, but I wasn't aware of this last night, maybe I skimmed over it on FB and saw but didn't register it. Anyway, there we were, in a place known to me as the City of the Bull. It had a sort of square paved road of different coloured stone tiles that I believed, when seen from above, would form a huge mosaic of a bull's head. The City of the Bull to me would automatically indicate Knossos/Heraklion on Crete, but this place seemed different to that. Knossos does have a paved road of the kind in the dream, but it is very short, the stones are not different colours and they make no bull-like pattern. It did not feel the same. Besides it's not the only city of the bull. There's always Birmingham, half of Spain, and unofficially perhaps NYC. But this place was so old beneath. In any case, it was pleasant. I woke feeling less than horrible.
