Had a disturbing dream last night where we cooked our Doberman and were slicing her up like a giant ham.  I had suspected she was a bit psychic because when we use dog treats to train her, left paw or right paw (trying to get her to learn a left-right abstraction as I was able to do with a previous dog), she often gets impatient and anticipates the paw I’m going to ask for.  I thought perhaps it was body gestures she was picking up on and tried hard to avoid this by first taking a position and then without moving deciding what paw I’d ask for, but still she’d usually get it right. Then I stopped verbalizing altogether and I could get her through the whole routing just by thinking what I wanted her to do.  So last night after I had this dream, I awoke, it’s 4:30AM, in my mind, I asked her to come to us and she got up and walked into our room.

     Then another where it was just the day I was being release from prison.  I am approaching the time I will be released from community custody but it’s been nearly three years and I still have dreams of the time near my release date in prison.
