Ok, so what is it with weird dreams recently ?

Yesterday I had another one of my awful stress headaches. I took my prescribed pain medication, but it didn't help, not so unusual. Anyhow I went and laid down seeking relief, and while I don't remember solidly going to sleep, I do remember dreaming. Now, I'm not going into the private details on this family forum, but I will say it involved my husband and I and our room past bedtime. It was getting a little odd, he was behind me and was rubbing my shoulders and I felt something cold touch my back. Cold and hard and sharp. I don't think I need to tell you what it was. I got a little bit scared, but excited as well. [ I know I'm weird, but he's my hubby and that's safe, right ?] Then he told me he was tired of other guys looking at me { which is hilarious since I'm 50 pounds overweight but dreams are dreams } and he was going to make sure they knew who I belonged to. I got smart and asked, "What are you going to do, brand me ?" and then my heart flip flopped when he said yes. Then there was this incredible searing pain in my right side, just over my kidney in the back. I was trying not to scream and he was holding me so hard it hurt and I could hear this disgusting sizzling sound. I woke myself up with my teeth clamped around a scream.

Now this is where it gets weird. I could FEEL the brand on my back. I don't mean maybe. There was a sharp, hot pain and I could feel it throbbing and I was sweating. It hurt so badly, and in this one tiny spot, I actually had to get out of bed and go in the bathroom and check to make sure there was no mark. It actually hurt off and on all evening yesterday and right up until I went to bed. Just this tiny spot of heat and pain right where I was branded in my dream. It really kind of freaked me out, but I have been known to hallucinate after taking my medication, so I blame it on that.
