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.

  1. Dreams has alway facinate me. I wonder the reason we dream.
    I 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.

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.
