Dreams

I have been having a lot of dreams lately, I don't remember having had such vivid dreams and ones that I can remember so clearly in the past. They are not bad dreams, just strange, odd, confusing, and exhausting. I don't know if you have ever woken up from a dream wishing that you could get another eight hours sleep just to recover from a long exhausting dream. People from my past are in them, I usually recognize the people, even if they do not look anything like the person I know them to be. Like the time Grandma was wearing a cowboy outfit? Hmmmmmm that was indeed strange, because Grandma never wore anything but a dress her entire 99 years.

I don't have scary or frightening dreams, but they are definitely odd. Often they are about Dirk, or David, both men that I knew in the early days of my moving to Louisiana. You can never return to a time and place, nothing is ever the same, and of course that is true, but dreams come the closest to taking you back to your past. I don't try to analyze dreams, I don't think that really can be done, I just try and enjoy them. There are many things that influence our dreams, like thinking about a time, place or event just before going to bed. Yet many of my dreams seem to come out of the blue. Oh well, don't knock a good thing, at least I get to do a lot of traveling this way, without having to leave my bedroom.
