Crazy Dreams

So they say that during pregnancy you have strange dreams.  The past couple of nights I have had a recurring dream that is very strange. For those that know me well, don't worry.  This has nothing to do with my fear of bridges.  It all starts out with these guys:

Except the deer in my dream look more like this:

?

 The scene goes down at my parents house.  Why? No idea.  Each time I am walking from the side street to my parents house and see a huge deer staring at me as I get closer.  As I approach the house, he starts to chase me.  I have to run all the way around the house to try to get away from the deer.  My sweet track skills from high school keep me just a step ahead of the deer. (Grandad, don't tell everyone how fast I really ran in high school.) Last night during my dream I made it all the way around to the back of the house and up the back steps when:

 Bam!  He speared me like a bull. I instantly woke up in a sweat with my heart pounding.  

These dreams have been happening so often that I have found myself coming up with sneaky options of outsmarting deer throughout my day.  Here is what I've come up with:

 Hide behind a bush.  Deer can't be that smart, I could just hang out behind one of these until he goes away.

Dress up as a deer so that we can be friends instead of enemies.

Yep that's all I got.  Never crossed my mind to actually shoot the deer, or the sheer fact that deer are afraid of humans and in the real world would more than likely run from me than after me.

If you think of any other "deer outsmarting" tricks, please let me know.  Here's to hoping the deer costume works tonight, I don't have high hopes for the bush.
