even in my dreams I'm incompetent

Afternoon naps produce the most bizarre dreams. Unpleasant dreams.

I dreamed I was letting my dog Beau in - every time I let him through the door I hurt him. I slammed the door on his neck, or punched him in the face - not on purpose, but I still hurt him.
He started growling at me - really snarling, snout wrinkled, lips curled back, big teeth bared. I couldn't believe it - Beau is a most loving dog. When I tried to talk to him, to apologize, he snarled. A couple of times he stood up on his hind legs (he's almost as tall as I am) and snarled right in my face, even mouthed the words "I'm sorry". It was hideous, like a horror movie, and I was terrified. My dog was talking to me, but I couldn't tell if he was truly sorry because he couldn't control his fear and contempt of me, or if he was being sarcastic and making fun of me. (dream logic) When I woke up and went downstairs, I was relieved to find that Beau still liked me.

I dreamed I got into a car to drive a short distance away - I couldn't see, I couldn't find the road.
I was afraid, my passengers (my daughters) were afraid. I couldn't turn the wheel properly. I was swaying in my seat, half asleep. Usually in dreams I'm wide awake - I may be doing weird stuff or in strange situations, but I'm not a freaking half-asleep zombie. But in afternoon dreams, it's like the character of "me" is played by my actual sleeping self. I can't drive when I'm asleep.

PS - I actually have recurring car & driving dreams, and I know what they mean - but that's for another post.
