I am honestly not sure, but it seems to have happened to other people before.
I was just as skeptical as everyone else, and thought I'd stumbled upon a community that, well, perhaps had a hole in their bag of marbles, until I too began to have dreams that were surreal in their reality, and in those dreams I had a wolf companion named Diefenbaker who became hard of hearing when he foolishly dove into freezing water in an attempt to save my life and his eardrums burst. I do not know how, but I believe this is the same wolf, and were I to take him to the veterinarian, they would confirm his damaged ears.
The blondes thing became obvious when Diefenbaker would stray from my side to curl up at their feet and then, obstinately, refuse to leave. I have not witnessed the event in real life, yet, but I have dreamed several instances of it.
