Dream Time
Once again, last night, I had another beautifully vivid dream about pipe smoking. In this case, I was my "codgery-old-self" that I am today, but I was living in the late 1800s. My family was the same, I was still a professor, but it was around 1890 or thereabouts and life was based upon the technologies of that time. I walked to the U. We had a family carriage and horses. Life was slower paced. And, I was enjoying pipes frequently throughout the day... even while teaching, so it was delightful.
In my dream, the feeling of freedom of day-to-day life was oddly beautiful. After awakening, I have been thinking about it in regards to the pipe smoking, and I think perhaps the dream was so pleasant as perhaps my mind corralled itself to shape my thoughts in the dream to that of a fellow in the late 1800s... with no inherent knowledge of the dangers of smoking, nor the stigma attached to it. It was wonderfully relaxing. It also reminded me of a brief period earlier in my life when I did participate in some reenactments from that time frame as well.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
Dreams has alway facinate me. I wonder the reason we dream.
ReplyDeleteI dream that found a friend on chair in our shower and she had a bling fold on.
I didn't get up set. I told her to take the big bed and I would go into guest room.
It's not fact she was shower, but my reaction to it.
