it wasn't real?

i had a dream last nite that was so real that until i just checked the weather report now i thought it actually happened. still doesn't seem like a dream but unless the weather stats somehow missed it (and zac didn't hear it either), it was a dream. i was sure i was awake. i dreamt there was a thunderstorm (there wasn't even one forcasted). i woke up to faint thunder around 3:30 or 4am. i remember thinking that we'd now find out how the dog reacts to storms. there was a couple flashes of lightning and inbetween i counted the seconds til the thunder (which was a big boom at this point) and it was about 8 seconds both times (so i think it makes it less than 3km or miles away-- can't remember how to do the math for that). then i heard big drops of rain on the roof. not pouring rain, just lots of big drops. and i remembered i had some doonas and blankets airing on the line as well as some laundry. apparently none of this happened. it was all a dream. i swear i was awake though. i'm sure the dog would have come in if it had happened. she freaks out at the wind at nite. she was good and didn't try to come in once last nite and didn't even come in until about 10am this morning (she's a lazy dog when we're being lazy). i still can't believe it never happened.
