What did you dream when you ate a spider while sleeping?
Visiting a lake, I'd yawn hugely at the wrong time, and someone fishing would cast and the hook would fly right down my throat. I'd grab the line and struggle to keep the hook from moving back up my throat, tearing out flesh and pouring blood down into my stomach. Then I'd wake up in a pool of sweat, and when I realized I'd swallowed a spider, it would seem like no big deal.
