LIFE // the dream


I had a dream last night that I was a scientist surrounded by test tubes. I drank one and my laboratory became a greenhouse full of flowers. I wandered a bit, clad in a white lab coat that accumulated more and more dirt stains the farther I walked, and found the greenhouse faded into an orchard surrounded by stained glass. Apples hung from the boughs of the trees. I ate a blue one and the scene changed again, I was swimming in cold green water. The waved buffeted me up to the surface and I started singing a siren's song. A boat came by and I climbed a ladder onto the deck. They wrapped me in a fluffy white towel and sent me below, where I was given a Victorian-era silk dress to change into. I awoke when we reached a tropical land where the air smelled like spices.

  12. Sounds like a cool dream. I always have the weirdest dreams. Like I've done something really bad and the bad guys are out to get me. Or we're getting bombed.

  22. @ Hazelnut, I usually can't either. That's sort of why this one stuck with me.

  23. wow that is certainly the most vivid dream!

  24. Wow, that's a pretty amazing dream.. I never remember mine. All I know is a lot of times I half wake up and then force myself back to sleep so I can finish my dream... and then immediately forget it.

  25. What a lovely dream! Can I have some of whatever was in that test tube? ;)

    ReplyDelete
  26. I never dream. Well I do. But not when I'm sleeping. I know. It's quite sad that I can't and don't dream. On a verrryyy rare occasion, I'll have a not-so-weird dream. Like a dream that I'm just picking up a book. I know -- boring. ANYWAY! Love this post -- and that picture = gorgeous perfection.

  27. So, I was just making my daily visit to your lovely blog and I noticed your new design -- beautiful! (And no, I'm not just saying that because we have similar headers ;)). It might just be my favorite. The chevron background and dreamy colors complete it perfectly.
