I am entering the season of dreams. I know this is true. I know the reasons why.
Change ahead. Time off. Decisions to make. Uncertainty.
In the early morning hours, just released from dreams, I am bewitched by possible prophecy. Intrigued by the clarity that rises to the surface. Frightened by an anxious vision I had not ever considered.
How far can I follow the path my dreams mapped out before I am lost? Dreams live in a different land of memories. They are made up of images that drift, not tethered to any actual event. But yet, they tell a story and unraveling that is our key to making sense of the strong images we can recall.
I search for direction in the land of dreams. I believe in their wisdom. I am both soothed and surprised by their revelations.
This is the season of dreams.
I am trying to be wide awake as I sleep deeply.
I am participating in the Slice of Life challenge to write and publish a post every day in March.
Slice of Life is hosted by Two Writing Teachers. I thank them for the community they provide. Read more slices here.
There's a Book for That 
Your writing is so eloquent. The only dreams I seem to remember are the ones where I desperately have to pee but can’t find a bathroom.
I’m really enjoying your posts. You put in to words what I often think about.
Yikes, those aren’t the best dreams. Thanks for the positive feedback 🙂
Your choice of words in this piece is beautiful. As Sharon said, it is eloquent! If only we could all be wide awake as we sleep deeply
I think there is so much in our dreams!
It’s so hard for me to remember my dreams. I wake up with the feeling of a dream but not the specifics. I wonder if there is a way to train otherwise.
I wake up often! I have always remembered chunks of dreams and strong images. I know it is different for many.
Your writing is beautiful! The word choice and images you created have me reading this again and again. Your thought are so deep, but you made them accessible with the way you structured it. Beautifully done. Follow your dreams!
Thank you Clare!
That last line – so evocative!
🙂
Dreams are always something to consider, that intrigue me. I’m hoping that clarity will come, Carrie. Best of wishes to you.
I am also a huge seeker of truth in dreams.
Your words are beautiful and last line is breathtaking. I’m hoping that you will find the answers you seek.
Thank you Julie. I do too.
Amazing word choice. Intriguing thoughts. Mysterious mood. I wish sometimes that the answer was in dreams.
I think sometimes it might be – at least pieces of it.
This is so beautifully written. It has so many wonderful elements: mystery, beauty, wondering, thinking, etc. It makes me think. I hope you find what you are looking for, whether in dreams or not.
Many thanks Robin.
