Why am I awake at 3am??

Last night i was awoken by a sharp jab in the back, followed by a flash of light. Then I heard a desperate voice telling me to get out of bed. I crawled out of bed still half asleep, then slumped myself on the ground against the wall. It took a few seconds before I understood what was happening.
Daniel had felt something crawl across his chest, and quickly moved to turn on his light, jabbing me in the back in the process. As he turned on his light, he realized it was a huge spider and ended up knocking his light over and smashing the bulb. That's when he called out for me to get out of bed. I turned on my light, and helped him look for the spider. He went and got the flashlight so he could look in all the good hiding places around our bed. There was no spider in sight, so I asked if he might have just dreamed it. Then he became a little unsure of himself. I told him that there was no way I was going to get back into bed, unless he finds that spider. After another 20 minutes, we were both so exhausted that we just climbed back into bed and fell asleep, dreaming about spiders.

I love this post, but I hate that feeling!! Spiders are the worse, real or in dreams!

Yuck! I'm glad you guys made it out alive! :) One time in Japan I left my slippers in the shower room. When I went back to get them, I heard an audible voice say to me, "You'd better shake your slippers out before you put them on." I listened, and when I shook my slippers out, a three-inch cockroach fell out of the toe of one of them. Good thing I listened! ~Darcy
