Dreaming

Are you the kind of person who remembers your dreams? I don’t remember a lot of dreams but some get stuck in my head and others suddenly spring to mind sometime later in the day when something else triggers them off.

I love the way that dreams don’t have to make any sense. Last night I dreamt I was back in India. The strange thing was, it was nothing like India. The roads were uncluttered. We were being driven past pure, white, sandy, deserted beaches by our Indian friend Richard. I remember passing a cyclist wearing full cycling gear riding a very nice road bike. Not the kind of thing you see in India.

At one point I turned to one of the guys in the car with me and started talking about the fact that we needed to get in touch with Amit, Sunil and a few of our other Indian friends while we were there. I was concerned that we hadn’t been in touch with them and they probably didn’t know we were there.

Even though nothing looked, sounded or smelled like India, I just knew that that’s where we were.

I’m hoping that the dream will continue tonight so that I can find out what happens next.

  • I usually only remember the dreams that God sends my way…often they’re so strange that they burn into my mind – sometimes all I’ve had to do is shut my eyes and I can still see it…

    My mum had an interesting dream about me the other night…fingers crossed it was prophetic!! 😀

  • I can never remember my dreams, although I occasionally get feelings of de ja vu at random times, almost as if I’m living through something I’ve dreamed before. I have no explanation for why this is, but it happens surprisingly often.
