The dream came to me somewhere in that period of wakefulness and sleep. It crept upon me, and I actually awoke and realized it was a dream creeping into my consciousness. I immediately closed my eyes again, and fell into the rabbit hole. It was then that the mysterious enigma was revealed.
So here I am getting dressed , the coffee is on the table, and I have no idea what this all means. After 30 minutes of sipping coffee, prodding my mind for some inkling of a clue, I had hit a brick wall. Resolved to failure I sat at the kitchen table and as soon as I put the first bite of a Jimmy Dean's Pure Pork Sausage biscuit into my mouth...BAM! The dream came rushing back into my memory like a tsunami. The enigma had revealed itself! I had dreamed that I made a promise to God I would be a vegetarian! Not just a vegetarian, but an activist for animal rights. I remembered my dream and how vile the thought of consuming meat was, all just to satisfy my primal lust for meat.
Sitting here at the breakfast table I thought how difficult it must must be to go through a period of 40 days during the Lenten season and practice self denial. I only lasted a few hours. I'll atone for my own deficiencies at a later date, possibly with God. Right now I've got a biscuit to eat.
