D is for Dreams Do you ever feel like you are alive in your dreams? Alive in some other place? Like it is just as real as your waking life? If we really do exist in another place and time in our dreams, what happens when we 'wake up'? Are we still there in the other place, but just not conscious of being there? Or do we disappear and if so, what about the other people in our dream world? Do they say 'what happened to so and so, they just disappeared?' Or do we fall asleep in our other 'life'? 'Narcolepsy, she must have narcolepsy. She is always falling asleep and it takes forever to wake her up again, so just let her sleep. She usually sleeps about sixteen hours.' Of course we almost always return to a different time and place in our dreams, usually with different people. The logistics just aren't logical. Still, our dreams seem so real. Sometimes they come true. Once I dreamed that a chicken I had was killed by a dog. Three weeks later she was killed by a dog. None of our chickens had been killed by a dog in years. The chicken was more than ten years old when she met her end. A very long life for a chicken. The other night I was driving on gravel roads in my dreams. I had to go down this virtually straight up and down slope. I wasn't afraid because I knew I had done this before and I knew that as long as I kept going down at a certain speed and kept the car straight, I would be okay. Hope that dream does not occur, although I guess I've been practicing in my sleep and as long as the happy ending part comes out okay, I won't mind so much. What did it mean? That things are going downhill....but it's going to be okay? AAAGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
