A California woman says she dreamt that she snacked on her own engagement ring, only to wake up and discover she really had swallowed it.

Jenna Evans, the bride-to-be, wrote about the incident on Facebook, detailing the bizarre series of events that included plenty of laughter and an operation.

“We laughed pretty hard for about an hour and a half, called my mom, laughed until we were crying, googled 'do other adults swallow rings’, because kids do it all the time, but apparently it's less common for adults,’ Ms Evans wrote.

She then visited the doctor, where she got an X-Ray. They found the ring in her stomach, before deciding it would be best to have a gastroenterologist remove it.

“I went to urgent care where I struggled to explain why I was there, because I was laughing/crying so hard,” she wrote. “The doctor ordered an Xray and seemed pretty shocked when she walked back in with a second doctor and showed me that sure enough, my ring was right there in my stomach!”

So, what kind of a dream was she having?

Ms Evans later clarified in her Facebook post that she was dreaming that she was with her fiancé on a high speed train. The dream was a “sketchy” situation with some “bad guys” who told her she had to eat the ring.
