This morning I was dreaming about a rainstorm. No big deal. It was raining when I went to bed and I opened the window to listen to it and to get a little fresh air in the room while I slept.

But in the middle of the dream, I dreamed that that the rain became mixed with big, fluffy snowflakes and the two were falling together. The snowflakes were actually clumps of flakes stuck together and some of the clumps were as big as the palm of my hand.

When my wife woke me up this morning, she said, "It's been snowing." And though the temperature had been nearly 50 degrees Ferenheit when we went to bed, when I got up there was about two inches of snow on the ground.

Now, I know I had the window open, but the drapes were closed and there was no way for me to have seen snow falling outside or have integrated any experience of that into the dream - at least that I know of.

So, how did I dream it snowing and it end up REALLY snowing?
