I do dream of those things. I also dream of those who differ from me. We can calmly discuss our differing opinions and come to understand each other better.
I do not know if this is actually SAD or “normal” or something else….. but for the past few years…. my dreams (or at least the ones I remember) are all reliving memories as if I am watching a film.
Prof., I often have dreams recreating real events lately too, but without the tensions or pauses of waking life --like the doodle excludes a pause between present and mesozoic periods.
Geo, how's the recovery going? Are you indeed 'waking up'? I hope so, the ether badly needs you. I...well, I stumped on that. I don't know how I'm doing. Sometime the hours between 2-4am are taxing, and have portents of doom. If so, fine. Take care, my friend.
I think I quote F. Scott Fitzgerald with "It's always 3 o'clock in the morning in the dark night of the soul." Read that somewhere nearly 60 years ago and remembered it just now, so we're right on schedule. Sometimes I wake then too. Memory returning apace.

ReplyDeleteDear Emma, that is certain. Discussion is a tool of calm reason while arguments are too often ceded to the loudest side.
DeleteThat's a nice, gentle dinosaur who must be waking up from a happy dream.

ReplyDeleteYour poem, however, is wonderful.

DeleteNo, I don't dream of nice things like that. Usually I'm being hunted by the living dead, or some such. What fun!
ReplyDeleteDear Tom: The unwelcome dream-visitors you mention are vulnerable to air-freshener. I keep a can handy on the nightstand.
DeleteThank you. It would need to be a very powerful air-freshener; tis the season of farmers' muck-spreading.
