Dreams

I had a messed-up dream last night.

What happened?

I was back in my home grove up north and I was with this girl I used to know. And you know on The Christmas Carol when ghosts from the different Christmases come by and take Scrooge on trips through time?

Yeah.

Well, in my dream that’s kind of what the girl was doing. She was taking me to all these places where I’d spent time as a kid. Like my schools and the town grocery store and my friends’ houses and stuff.

Cool. Did you see yourself as a young three toed?

Nope, I didn’t.

Why was it messed-up?

Well, the last location she took me to was a very tall tree. I mean like 200 feet tall. And there were only two branches and they both went straight up and they were very close together. She stood on top of one and I stood on top of the other and we quietly watched the river pass through the jungle down in the valley below us. And everything was so green and lush.

Interesting. Did you ever like this girl? I mean, were you reliving a past relationship through your dream?

No, I never did. I mean we hung out a lot but that was it.

Interesting.

Yeah, but then the tree started to tip over. And I forgot to mention that there were no leaves on this tree whatsoever. And no bark. It was just a smooth gray tree with two branches and a very large trunk. So anyway the tree started to tip. And it was really slow and I thought, “How can this be? How can I keep us from falling?” But we fell.

Did you guys get hurt?

No. When we were about half way down I yelled to her, “Spread out your arms and legs and they will break your fall in the foliage near the ground.”

Did it work?

No. We both landed face down, spread eagle on the muddy river bank of the river. Then I woke up.

Wierd.

Last night I dreamed about digging. My dreams are always about digging.



Have you heard the song "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loves Me"?

Sure. Classic Smiths.



"Last night I dreamt that somebody loves me. No hope no harm, just another false alarm."

I always thought it sounds so dismal.



Yeah, it does. I mean, it is.
