strange dreams

so I had some very strange dreams last night. The first one I was at home (where I grew up not where I live now) and I went to my bedroom. It was filled with boxes and looked more like a storage area. I tried to turn on the lights using the light switch by the door, but it didn't work, so I walked into the room and tried to turn it on one of the other walls. Then these animals came out. First was a Capybara [for those of you who have no idea what a capybara is, it's a very large rodent. "The capybara is the largest rodent in the world. It weighs about 100 pounds and stands two feet tall at the shoulder. " http://www.stlzoo.org/animals/abouttheanimals/mammals/rodents/capybara.htm] Then there was a woodchuck/ground hog type creature, and something else. I tried to...I think I was trying to kill it, but I was beating it over the head with something (it may have been a box). The creature just turned and looked at me. It gave me a look like "what ARE you doing? That hurt, and it's not going to kill me you big dummy."

It was quite disturbing. First of all rodents of any type kind of freak me out. Well, that's not just limited to rodents. And second, I was freaked out in the dream and that just kind of carried over to real life. It actually woke me up. The other disturbing thing is who dreams of capybaras??? Maybe if I lived in South America where they live and I saw them or they were part of the natural wildlife. But they are not natural to the local wildlife. The last time I saw one was when I was at a zoo, and I have no idea how long ago that was!

After waking up from that dream I went back to sleep and had a few other strange dreams. I don't remember them as well at the moment, but needless to say it was a strange night.
