my brother dreamed that he was being chased by a bumblebee..his wife said he leaped out of bed like he was jumping into water, and woke her up.......she asked him if he was okay, and he said, scowling:
"FINE."

he is a big macho italian guy, so she pressed him a little further:

emily: what happened?
fred: (mumble)
emily: what?
fred: i was being chased.
emily: by what?
fred:(mumble)
emily: honey, i can't hear you.
fred: a BEE! okay, are you happy??

NEXT DAY
emily, to brian: guess what?
emily, to mom: guess what?
emily, to dar: guess what?
etc.

brian to fred: hey! look at this bee picture i found.
mom to fred: hey! seen any good bees lately?
dar to fred: hey! bee good.

apparently, last time he was being chased in a dream, he got up, grabbed his pillow, and sprinted for the bathroom, leaving emily to the monster.

when she found him, wild-eyed and clutching his pillow, he refused to discuss it. it wasn't till later that she got it out of him.
