Journey into my psyche...

[plunkybug]

I am watching The Adventures of Baron Munchausen; I love this movie. There was a scene where the ship is going to the moon, and Sally and the Baron are sleeping with their hands/arms over the edge. Anyhow, it reminded me of something. There is a habit of mine, something I am always aware of.

Since I was a child, I was always aware of my hands and arms when I was sleeping, well, in the process of falling asleep anyway. See, I had this fear, or superstition that if my hands or arms were over the side of the bed, that a monster from under the bed and eat them. Of course, I *know* now that there are no monsters that will rip my hands or arms off, yet I still keep them close to me, and away from the edges to this day. Is that not silly?

Lucky for me, my shortness prevents my feet from falling over the edge, though my legs are usually partially bent anyway. I am glad I am not the only one that still does this for those reasons. :)

Yah. Me being Amazonian tall and all probably accounts for my feet being the main focus of that fear. :)
