3o'clock in the morning

It's disconcerting to wake to the feeling of being gnawed. To move, and feel little claws running across your elbow. To scream and turn on the light and find nothing there...
My elbow still feels like it has been chewed by tiny teeth.
For the sake of a good nights sleep, maybe I should feed my bedroom mice.

Gah!!!

Was I dreaming?

I wrote this with my heart still thumping from the shock and now I've spent my day wondering if it really happened, or if I was having a vivid dream. I can still recall the feel of the claws on my skin

I've had dreams like that before, but not for a very long time.

Once I dreamt there was a spider, and another time it was a monkey (I don't remember this one). Both times I woke my sleeping partner with a scream, just like last night. I was eventually persuaded it was a dream.

The ant that crawled into my ear was real though. It was still buzzing next to my eardrum while I spoke to the nurse at the Eye and Ear hospital about what to do, aaaargh!!
