I had a dream…..

I have some pretty strange dreams from time to time and I’m usually able to remember them vividly!!! I sometimes wonder what was in the back of my mind that would trigger them or why some of the topics are even remotely something that I would have any thoughts on at all…….but, the one I had last night was pretty obvious why it may have been on my mind and incorporated into a dream – it was most likely triggered by my concern about the drought we have been in for so many months:

I dreamt I was going about my usual business on a nice weekend day when the sky got dark and the clouds rolled in and a torrential rain hit — it came down with such force, I had to pull the car over and try to wait it out because I couldn’t see to drive! I sat there watching the rain and it began to flood – the water flowed down the road like a raging river! Luckily for me, the flooding was only in the streets, turning them into rivers, and not on the side where I pulled over and not in any other areas that I could see from my spot – and, strangely enough, everything all along the new rivers was ABOVE water level – like on the banks of a river – it was truly bazaar! As I sat there watching the rain, I got out briefly to let the rain wash over me and I twirled around getting drenched!!! I stopped twirling and looked at the “river” and saw several things floating by — toys, wood, tree limbs, people in canoes and row boats, and even one of those powered sea-do type thingies (by the way, it was still raining so hard you could barely see – not sure how these people could stand to be out there with trying to have fun on the water)…..when the rain finally stopped, everything around me turned the most beautiful dark green, the lawns grew about a foot, flowers bloomed, and everything looked like spring time and everything was clean and bright! The water flowed down the “rivers” until they emptied and turned back into streets, and I pulled back on the street and drove away to get back on my way to whatever I was going to do! I woke up and went to the window wondering if it had rained and the sound of the rain prompted the dream, but everything was dry – no rain!!!!

I’ve often thought that I should write down all my dreams (I still remember a lot of them and think of some of the more bazaar ones from time to time) and put them into a book – it would make for interesting reading (at least for me…….and maybe a few others with bazaar reading interests)!

One classic that I had as a child that still comes to mind whenever I think of my strangest of dreams is lost tooth related — I dreamt that I lost a tooth and it was suddenly a HUGE bright white tooth, about the size of a car, and it was bouncing and tumbling like a big ball down the main street in my home town and I was on two very large white horses – standing on their backs with one foot on each horse, holding the reins with one hand and spinning a lasso with the other – I was wearing a white cowgirl outfit and hat and I was chasing this tooth down main street trying to get close enough to lasso it!!! I never did catch that tooth – it was gone forever!!! ha-ha-ha

I wonder what I’ll dream tonight?????
