My Guardian Angel
I dont know how spiritual you are.. or how I am but after what happened this week.. I think I am ready to believe
its been super cold up here in Cgy with the temperature falling to below minus 20 at night... and my flatmates have this annoying rule that the furnace goes off at 11 when everyone goes to bed...
so KC ( a cool friend) lent me his electric blanket that I snuck into my house and have been using for the past few weeks..
well last Thursday I was snuggled up under the blanket and at 11 the house began to freeze... kinda like in the movie "The Day After Tommorow" I could literally feel and see the rapid cooling in the house.. but I was all toasty under the duvet and electric blanket and doze off all peacefully
I had a dream about my Grandma (Momma was what we called her for those who dont know) and I cant remember the last time I have ever dreamed about Momma.... its been a while since she had passed away... and I remember feeling bad that I wasnt able to afford to come back to her funeral.. but for the weeks that she was ill I would pray every night at a 1400 yr old temple by my old apt in Shimousa Nakayama - Japan.. ( pic included)
anyways.. in the dream Momma was sitting in a big arm chair at my Aunt Roseanne's house.. and by her feet was Amber ( my aunt's deceased ShihtZu) and they were both looking at me with a big smile... and Momma kept saying " Get up... Get up.. Matt get up"... in a very calming voice... and then all of a sudden my Aunt appeared beside Momma and they were both asking me very calmly and quietly to "get up".. it was soo sureal... because I knew I was dreaming...
and I woke up... and looked around.. and of course was all groggy...and as my eyes started to focus. I noticed my room was lit up and very bright... and I thought to myself "im sure I turned my lights off"
and then I noticed a flicker and looked down.... and
MY BED WAS ON FIRE>... there were flames on me... my Duvet Cover was engulfed in flames from the waste down
so I quickly jumped into the air.. and with the upper part of the duvet I put the flames out....
and pulled the electric cord out of the socket.. and ran the sheets, and bedding outside and thew them in the snow..
and then quickly went back.. and threw a big glass of water on the mattress just in case
...well talk about crazy...
my room still now smells like a fire..
I had to get all new bedding and a mattress...
that day when I went to work I could still smell the fire,,, everything smelt like burnt bed...
all the doctors were making fun of me...saying.. that the Evil Nurse Hatchet (me) is soo evil that I cant even burn...
a really cute resident gave me a check up and said I would be smelling the burning bed for several days as the smoke got into my nose and lunges.. crazy eh?
im so glad im ok...its soo amazing that I came out with not one scratch or mark except for the smoke inhalation... I cant believe how much smoke damage I did to my room.. and the front yard looks soo funny now.. you can totally tell where the burnt duvet and bed sheets melted in the snow.
I have to say a big thank you to Momma, Aunt Roseanne and Amber.... If I hadn't woken up at the moment... im sure I wouldn't be here to write about this.. and nor would my roomates..
