I was at a three-day leadership conference for work, and my company put everyone up in a nice hotel. The first night, I was wiped out and crashed hard after dinner.
Apparently, I had a very intense nightmare where I was being chased by a bear. According to the people staying next door, they heard me scream, “RUN! HE’S GOT THE AXE!” followed by loud crashing sounds (I fell off the bed and knocked over a lamp).
They called the front desk because they thought someone was being attacked.
Security knocked on my door at 2:13am. I opened it half-asleep, still sweaty and confused. Had to explain it was a nightmare. They asked if I was on anything. I said melatonin and spaghetti.
The next day at breakfast, I was the talk of the table. My coworkers now refer to me as “Bear Guy.”
TL;DR: Had a nightmare about a bear while at a work conference and screamed loud enough that hotel security showed up. I am now known as Bear Guy in my department.

Solid one 😅You gave everyone a memorable wake-up call. “Bear Guy” suits you perfectly.
At least you didn’t wake up to find the bear had raided your mini-bar… like that time I did.
You f’d up by having a nightmare. Cool story bro.
Don’t worry, unless you’re a frequent traveler you get bad sleep and cortisol levels are high. I’ve woken up in a hotel lost and confused before. After about 500 nights in a hotel, friend’s house, and crashing at random places I can sleep through the night without any issues. But when I first started I wasn’t sleeping well, had dreams, woke up confused.
I mean, the bear had an axe! That is a solid nightmare.
Wonder if the person who had your new number before didn’t know they could block numbers. Or – they did and she kept texting with new ones herself. Also wonder who the other person in the group is?
You can have some fun with this. I’d start with “And just why do you think I would want to let you in to my life?” Let her type something out, then “I still don’t get the point”. Just keep it open ended and see where this goes. Have fun with it. At some point – maybe the other person will reach out to you OR you end it with “wait, is this Betty? Who is this?”
Melatonin’s great, I get a different movie every night. Haven’t had any bear with axe type dreams though.
This made me laugh
My father’s wife about once every two weeks or so screams in her sleep if you did not know it was gonna happen or could happen. You would be fearful for your life and anyone else in the vicinity. It’s hard to explain how horrific her screams are. You mean dogs get up growling I’ve been known to reach for a pistol just to be sure.
I laughed so hard. My favorite line was “they asked if i was on anything and i said melatonin and spaghetti”
Nice
Own it dude!
