I'm back at my old tricks. It's just shy of 6:00 am and I've begun my first cup of coffee. I awoke quite some time ago, but drifted back to sleep and even managed to have an odd dream during that brief slumber.
In my dream, my staffer who has been out on medical leave had been dropped at my house by the hospital staff (she's been out of the hospital for weeks, but this is a dream...it does not follow reality). She said she would wait for her boyfriend to pick her up, but I insisted I would drive her home. As I opened my garage door, I inadvertently hit a button that backed my car out of the garage. I was able to control my car with a remote button...but not well. I stopped it from backing into my neighbor's garage, but succeeded in making it lurch forward and smash into my fence. My staffer was standing under the eve of my house, next to the garage, insisting it wasn't worth my trouble, when it started raining heavily and she was getting soaked as the rain poured off the roof; she finally agreed to the ride. I woke up just about the time another car was heading my way down the alley at high speed, with no indication that it would stop before hitting my car that was lodged against the fence.
It's Saturday again, time for my fantasy world to collide with reality. As I try to reconstruct the dream, I realize how absolutely real a dream can seem to be while it's happening, but how utterly surreal it can be in retrospect. Note to self: make it a point to understand the real meaning of dreams before the end of the month.
It's approaching 6:30...I've drifted in and out of writing this post...so I'll call this one done and come back another time.
