Have you ever accidentally slapped/hit your significant other? [View All]

A couple of years ago, I had a very vivid dream about spiders. LARGE spiders. FOOTBALL-SIZED spiders, with yellow stripes. I HATE spiders. I woke up at the point in my dream where the spiders were right next to me, and when I opened my eyes I swore I saw one on the pillow next to me. I hauled off and started swinging at it. It turned out to be my girlfriend's face :-(

She wasn't hurt, but it was one hell of a way to wake someone up from a dead sleep with an open-handed slap across the face.

Last week, the same thing happened again! Thankfully this time she was up and getting ready for work when I started swinging a pillow at her side of the bed. She came running into the room to find me looking confused, searching for an imaginary spider under the sheets. If she'd slept in that day, it would have been a very one-sided pillow fight.

My fiance thinks it's a funny story, and tells it to all our friends, but I still feel bad and embarrassed about it.
