Dreams…they can be good, they can be bad. I had some fun tweaking the photograph of this calla lily to include a downhill skier. I thought it a fun way to show how a commonplace item and events in your life can combine and become the impetus for a dream. I don’t know about your dreams, but I have found what I read, view on television, or dwell upon before I sleep will sometimes become fodder for a doozy of a dream. Take Saturday night for example: I watched a thought provoking movie, “The Bucket List,” starring two of my favorites, Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson. There was nothing even remotely frightening about the movie even though the main theme was sad. Along near morning I was embroiled in a scary dream involving the Abominable Snowman. How do I get Abominable Snowman from such a benign movie? Well…in the dream the characters visit the Himalaya Mountains, where…you guessed it…resides the Abominable Snowman.
The dream had my garage as a backdrop, the evil Snowman was inside trying to harm my cat, suddenly he turned toward me with those evil eyes glowing…well…I roared. I don’t mean roared in lower case letters, I mean, “ROARED!!!” Trouble is even though sound asleep, I ROARED in real life too. I awoke myself, and woke my husband too. Don’t feel too sorry for him, he is used to this reaction to a bad dream happening from time to time.
If perchance the snowman gets in your dreams tonight too…have a little ROAR in solidarity with me. Happy Dreaming!
