dream catcher
dream catcher I don’t sleep well. Sometimes I don’t sleep at all but often I sleep for an hour or so and then startle awake, drift off, startle. It’s odd that with this pattern of sleep I seem to have a fairly active dream life but then I always have. There are dreams from my youth that I still can recall in quite disturbing detail; dreams that would repeat and repeat, nightmares of a sort or warnings. It’s why I hate chase scenes in movies and love serial killer books and all things sci-fi. I dream often of this place of safety where I used to I think I would live but now I think I will go to in death. I see it from above as if I’m in a plane and looking down on it from several hundred feet. The colors are vivid and it reminds me of the movie the Secrets of Roan Inish. Odd to think of that movie now as it’s been years since I’ve seen it but it was the kind of movie that you don’t plan to watch but never forget. When I was little I used to dream of standing at the door to a room and this man who was seemingly a good man was inviting me and my sister inside to join in a party. It looked like such fun. But inside of me I knew that if we went in, we could never leave and I was tugging my sister away as she tried to go through the door….I had this dream so many times that I can remember the smell of it, the colors of the dresses on the inside and the exact number of balloons that drifted to the ceiling. Dreams often help us finish the thoughts we fear to parse in daylight. They bring back the dead, they show us our future. According to scientists, they may even be how our minds consolidate memory. A friend of mine would dream of things that were going to happen….and then they did. We came to believe in her dreams and treated them with great care. She dreamt of my godson wearing blue, face down in water. The entire two weeks he visited me that summer, we kept the away from water. On his birthday night, after his bath, we were cooking and Linda said, where is Kalani?. We found him face down in the tub that had not been drained in his new blue outfit. Now he makes hand rolled premium cigars in Hawaii. A fine man filled with laughter, saved by a dream. You cannot conceive the many without the one. |

What a great story. I rarely remember my dreams. My wife has vivid dreams loaded with symbolism and recalls them very well. It makes me wish I remembered my own dreams. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

I have had so many dreams of late, some troubled, and I know my mind is working the problem. Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety. Other women cloy The appetites they feed, but she makes hungry Where most she satisfies. For vilest things Become themselves in her, that the holy priests Bless her when she is riggish. ~~ from Antony & Cleopatra
