Soy sauce gives me nightmares

I know it sounds odd, but it's true. I had forgotten about it and ate some Chinese food (no rice!)the other day and then fell asleep soon after that. Eek. Usually it's just your garden variety "big hairy guy with a knife chasing me" sort of bad dream, but one time I had a real weird one that I've never forgotten.

The dream was that I was marrying James Gardner. It wouldn't have been so bad, but I'm not talking about hot James Garner from his Maverick tv show days, it was James Garner from The Notebook. I could have probably even handle Rockford, but no, I got elderly James Garner. In the dream, we get married and go on our honeymoon. The hotel room has this huge jacuzzi tub in it, the size of a small pool. JG is in there and the water is so dirty I can't see down to the bottom. He is trying to convince me to get in, but I won't because there is a big snake under the water. No, he wasn't 'packin', it was a huge boa constrictor.

I probably shouldn't share any of this. People are going to think I'm more screwed in the head then they previously thought.
