••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••I've been remembering many of my dreams lately (or at least portions of them), perhaps because I've had more time than usual to ponder them. I've been away from my normal work schedule for the past nine days, with one more day to go. Time away (from work) is the greatest! Anyway, each day I seem to wake up with a dream still on my mind, each different from the day before. Leaving me in various states of mind - trying to puzzle the dreamed events, and remind myself of exactly (or at least a clue about) what it was that I was trying to tell myself.
For instance, a few nights ago I dreamt that the roof above a bed that I was to sleep in (not at my house) was leaking. The room was on the top floor and empty save a bed against one wall. There were several windows, all closed — and it was dark outside. The ceiling was very high, (dusty) brown wood planks, built on a pitch. I went to get someone to look at it, and by the time we returned there was a big hole in the roof — directly over the bed. I wasn't particularly upset about it, I just wanted to know what we should do about it. The dream ended without resolution.
This was not my house, so there is nothing really that I can do. Aside from make them aware that there is a problem. But I'm pretty sure I'm not planning to sleep in a bed under a big (jagged) hole in the roof. Which pretty much describes how I feel about a particular situation that is currently a big issue in my life. There is a glaring problem, of which I have no power to control — and (using common sense) I don't have plans to sleep (meaning: let my guard down) there.
