wvalady1968: A few nights ago, I was awakened by this weird oooeeeeoooooeeeeoooooo yodel-like noise coming from my bed partner. I opened my eyes and looked at him sleeping and kind of smiled, then started to go back to sleep.
The bed jerked, so I opened my eyes to see his right hand moving up and out in a defensive motion. At the same time, his breathing was jerky and his head was moving side to side.
I put an arm around his waist and gently shook him saying, "Wake up, Baby, you're having a bad dream."
I felt his body relax and heard his laughter in the dark. I could hear the smile in his voice as he said, "Whew! The alligators were after me."
This happened two or three more times. Once he got up to go to the bathroom, and still went back to the nightmare when he fell back to sleep.
The next morning he said that we were on a flat boat in a swamp, and he saw a vine hanging and thought it would be fun to swing on it. The wild ride from there included hitting a "native" in the head and feeling his head explode, then there were the alligators and the sure and certain knowledge that they were going to get him.
He said it was in technicolor and surroundsound.
