Dreams

It's funny that I was planning to post something about dreams today and lo and behold, my twinny in sunny LA had the same idea. We often think alike, but her post is much more poetic than what I'm about to tell you. My big news is that I had my first "cupcake dream." Here's how it went: I was out with my family in downtown Peoria and came across a SPRINKLES CUPCAKES STAND! I was so excited and fumbled for my purse for that $20 grandma sent me for my birthday. DRAT! I couldn't find my purse. It was nowhere to be found. That meant no money for cupcakes. And even worse, NO BLACKBERRY! I then went on a circuitous and convoluted journey of trying to find my purse and cell phone and money. Oh, the panic. Then I realized I didn't have my glasses either, so everything was BLURRY. So I got in a car and started driving and suddenly realized I was LOST. Yeah, not too inspiring. If you want to be inspired, read my sissy's post on WHALE DREAMS.

Recurring dreams

Reader Jessica's comment on "dreams" got me thinking. Do you have a recurring dream or nightmare? I do. It's always the same. I'm on a work trip to attend a convention or conference. I search high and low, but for some reason, can never find my hotel room. OK, now that I said that out loud, it doesn't sound very disturbing. But in the dream it's really frustrating. I very often dream I am lost. I imagine someone could analyze that and find a deep psychological reason for it. Or maybe it's just because I have a terrible sense of direction and I very often am lost. What's your recurring dream?

(OK you lurkers, you know who you are. Time to weigh in!)

Dreams

I asked Jack Henry if he dreams at night. First he said, "No." Then he stopped and thought a minute and said "Yes, mommy, I do." I asked him what he dreams about, and without hesitation he said, "Marshmallows and butterflies."
