Sollie - The Dream

I'm going to start with some background information. Last Wednesday (March 3) I ended up going home half way thru the work day. I was so tired. I slept from 11:20am to 4pm, had a ciggie and a pee and went back to bed until 7:30pm. After being up for an hour I went back to sleep until my alarm went off at 5am Thursday morning.

Now why do you care? Because between my first and second sleep I dreamt about Sollie. Whose Sollie? you ask, yah, good question. The one thing I know for sure is Sollie is a female and I know this simply because of the ie in her name.

What is a Sollie? um, not exactly sure. I have determined Sollie is something between a Guinea Pig and a Rat. Sollie has the body of a Guinea Pig and the tail of a Rat.

During the first part of my sleep-athon, I dreamt this:

It's light, so I surmise I am outside, in the back alley of where I live. I don't have any details how Sollie came into my life only that I looked down and I was picking her up...holding her in both my palms. I took her home, but my home wasn't my home though it was the same apartment building. As soon as I put Sollie on the floor she took off. My cat, Healey, kind of watched her take off and then followed suit...so I hustled on after the both of them. Healey was sitting outside my bedroom closet so it was pretty easy to figure out Sollie was hiding in the closet. I peeked around the door into the shadows of my closet and could hear some rustling about and such...I didn't want to spook Sollie and I didn't want Healey to feel weirded out so I pulled my head out of the closet and sweet talked my cat into the living room....Then I woke up.

During the second part of sleeping, I dreamt the following:

Sollie hadn't come out of the closet yet and I'm guessing I'd been waiting patiently, somewhat patiently, for some time now. I toddled into the bedroom and opened the door to the bedroom closet and got on my knees and started talking softly, to no avail. So I let Healey into the closet to sniff Sollie out. As soon as Healey step into the closet I hear what could only have been snoring. Just a light wisp of a snore. I diligently pulled out items off the floor, you know, the top that falls off the hanger that you never pick up again until you want to wear it....and for some reason paper, there was a lot of paper in the closet, couldn't begin to tell you why. Anyway, with Healey's help I located Sollie and picked her up. She was very warm. Then somehow we go from a warm Sollie to a Sollie climbing my bedroom closet wall and then was it, I woke up.

....nothing left of the dream except the wondering of why and how Sollie was climbing the wall and the knowledge that I had had a very strange dream and 5 days later I haven't stopped wondering about Sollie.
