Afternoon naps usually the most delightful activity of the truly leisure set. Yesterday I worked on my day off but was sent home early and so felt I deserved a nap. My body must have felt I more than deserved one because I laid down at 3pm and woke up at 6:30pm! Some nap and then was only woken up by a daymare. Not technically a nightmare because of the time of day, and that made it all the worse. I could not get it out of my mind. I wish I could have taken my brain out of my head and given it a good scrubbing! After a hot bath, a cup of tea, dinner, watching an awful movie and going back to bed for 10 more hours I was able to wake up this morning with a distant memory of the dream. It is amazing to me how dreams can transport you to good or bad places. How they can recreate feelings that reawaken emotions long thought put to rest. It just goes to show how powerful the mind is and how our thoughts good and bad control our lives. I believe that living a life of positive thoughts is so good for you, very difficult to do at times but life is so much better when it can be achieved.
Crazy how dreams can totally capture your emotions, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteDreams are so weird...hate when you are in a bad dream and you want to wake up and get out of it...but you can't......
ReplyDeleteDreams are one of those mysteries of life which I wish we could explain. What drives them and why do we remember some and not others? Even when you can not fully remember them something lingers with an unease.
ReplyDeleteA nap is one of the greatest things in life to me!! I dream a lot, and they are usually crazy and/or disturbing at times....makes you think, doesn't it!
ReplyDeleteDreams are on my mind lately so how funny to find your post. Not funny that you had a nightmare/daymare, but strange how things come in groups or maybe because I keep thinking about dreams I notice other people discussing and working with dreams too. I hope you dream sweetly of perfect and enchanting happy things tonight.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I am so horribly behind on blog visits I am ashamed of myself. I've read through many of your posts and enjoyed your always lovely images. I hope things at work are better and you are enjoying the perfume of fresh paint in your house. What a lovely color! And, I hope you have some beautiful fall days to sooth and freshen the soul. That divine AirStream of yours in Mojave will certainly make fall delicious for you and hubby. Congratulations on your Anniversary (what a lovely post) and on your 100th post. I'm sorry I'm so late in celebrating with you but I know many more 100's of beautiful posts are yet to be written and celebrated!
Hi Lorrie, I'm with Beth - haven't visiting in such a long time. I don't like not having time to visit all my bloggy friends!! I so love your posts and your photos!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm glad your bad dream is but a distant memory. I have so many dreams each night that I consider them to be my private movie theater... I use them to see how I'm doing emotionally. Luckily I don't get nightmares anymore (I think I had my full share of those growing up - lots to deal with in my family), but if I have an anxious dream, I know I need to deal with some anxiety in "real" life. Aren't dreams fascinating? Hope yours will only be great from now on!!
Much love, Silke
I think you were visiting my blog while I was perusing yours. I've missed you, too! I'll be back more often again - I hope things slow down for me now... Hugs, Silke
