The Rat that Wouldn't Die

(image from the Official RatMan)

in my dreams that is......now I may have eaten too late last night because that's when I have weird dreams.

That and the fact that before I left town I had to feed my babies (that would be my two snakes) and they both ate good, although Jake took a long time to get to his food. He was having some issues since he was about to slough his skin. Usually they don't eat when they are about to shed their skin. But anyway he finally found his rat and ate it. So maybe that also contributed to the dream.

Anyhow, the G-man has rats on his property (it's just a part of the land, he has a lot of property and they aren't in the house although he does occasionally get mice). Maybe that also played a part because he was in my dream, saving me from this rat. LOL

so ANYway, I usually leave things alone in the house unless they 'bug' me (like say the lovely palmetto bugs down here or the spiders that make their way down the wall) or if they get too close to my personal space, which is a lot bigger for wildlife than it is for people.

So in my dream, I let this rat alone. It went about it's business of eating and hiding. Until it began to follow me. Now rats carry rabies, so when this rat began to actually stalk me, I began the process of trying to capture it so I can relocate it. I think I was at G-man's house, although it was a LOT cleaner. I should take pictures of his place. Anyway, I set up the traps but no, Mr. Rat was wily. And he still proceeded to follow me. So then I got mad. Like he was making fun of me. So then I decided he had to die. So I put out the death traps. Oh no, Mr. Beady Eyes is much smarter than that. So then I get G'man's varmint gun, but I couldn't very well shoot up the house (ok I guess I could if I was a redneck but I'm not and that didn't change in my dream). So, I try to tag it with a fork (hey it was following me so it was always so damn close to me haha). Needless to say I didn't get it. It was eating corn so I decided to throw in rat poison since the damn thing wouldn't move I could get close to throw it at him but he would somehow know when I was making my attempt at the kill shot, because then he'd dart away. So anyway he was munching on his corn and poison and finally I began to see him falter.

But he actually went crazy first, his eyes began getting bigger and foggier and he would actually start to attack ME! But then G'man was able to stab his in the forehead with a fork and Mr. Rat goes ballistic. But he was stuck with a fork so he couldn't go anywhere. Before he was moved I happened to wake up.

Weird dream. Wonder what that would mean in an analysis......
