"I fed chocolate to a dog"
There are certain things that aren't even a consideration... Like driving without putting your daughter in a car seat, or eating sushi that has been sitting at room temperature. Sure, maybe things would turn out fine, but it's not something you want to test. Well, in the dream I had last night, I did one of those things... i fed chocolate to a dog!! I have actually read about people who give their dog chocolate ice cream or a chocolate chip cookie and evidently it takes more than a small amount to actually kill a dog, but it's not really something I have an interest in trying. At least not in real life. However, in my dream last night, I was dog-sitting for a bride to be and I was staying at their house as a wedding guest. I remember needing to get to the wedding so I had to feed the dog. I couldn't find any dog food or water, so I gave the dog chocolate pudding...two bowls. It never occurred to me in the dream that that would be a bad thing to do. Then I headed to the ceremony... dream over. Then in the middle of the night, I woke up with this horrible feeling of dread - "Oh my God - why did I feed chocolate to that dog? Chocolate kills dogs!! Why didn't I think of that at the time? And is the dog okay?? Did it die? What will I tell the owner??" I will never know...that's the funny thing about dreams.
I'm not exactly sure what this could mean, but I'm thinking it might relate to an article I read yesterday about bridezillas trying to soak wedding guests for as many gifts and as many pre-celebratory events as possible (engagement party, multiple bridal showers, bride-groom shower, bachelor/bachelorette weekends, rehearsal dinner, wedding itself and post wedding brunch). Maybe in some strange way this was my way at getting back at these bridezillas...Canicide?
