cave dream

i dreamed last night
i was trapped in a cave
i had my phone
but i couldn't get a signal
and
i realized i was probably going to die there
i was pinned in by some rocks
so
i couldn't really move around to try to find
maybe some alternate way out
so
i realized i probably was going to die there
and
the thing that upset me the most
was
that you were never going to know
you were just going to think
i stopped talking to you


i woke up
i was very upset
it was very real
am i really at home in my bed?
was it just a dream?
i said this aloud
and
my cat came up from the foot of the bed
and lay in my lap for a few minutes
ok
thanks kitty
that was really good
