The other day we had a three and a half hour bus ride home from a football game (I'm in the 200+ person marching band) and I was tired, so I decided to rest a little. I was sitting in the seat in front of one o my good friends, and next to our band director. I was about to fall asleep when somebody hit some cymbals together LOUDLY. I jumped up and said to the kid behind me "were those cymbals on our bus, or another driving by?". Man the looks I got. Everyone just sorta stared at me and the general concensus was "what cymbals". A minute later I realized 1) My band director wasn't screaming, he hadn't even blinked, and 2) all the instruments were packed up and accounted for on a trailer about a mile ahead. It soon became apparent there were no cymbals, so I just dropped the subject. I know I wasn't dreaming, because the entire time I could hear my friends playing games, and anyways I'm very in tune to what stage of sleep I'm at. I was close to sleeping, but not quite there. Has anybody else ever experienced this kind of thing? It freaked me out, I couldn't even approach sleep the rest of the way home.
