Waking Dreams

[Angrboda]

I had a dream once where I was a member of a slave species, ruled over by tall monsters. In the dream, I was in an auditorium, and there were two of the monsters in front of me, and in front of them beyond my sight they were attending to my baby. I kept trying to look around them to see what they were doing to my baby, but I couldn't get a clear look. As I was doing this, I came awake and realized that the monsters that I was trying to look past were actually two stacks of boxes in my room at the foot of the bed. It was the weirdest thing.
