I had one of those long lasting fade into your morning dreams last night. I think the basis of it came from the Lush raffle I bought tickets for yesterday. The prize was the Northern Lights hatbox, a Lush gift box containing all sorts of soaps and goodies. I bought 24 tickets with $40 going towards Tsunami relief. The raffle box was close to empty when I made my purchase, with only 3 hours left to go for ticket sales. Still, even with my good odds, 9pm rolled around and I realized that they would have called me by then if I had won. Part of me was very stuck on the idea that maybe they were not calling the winner until today. That part of me came into dreamland with me. My dream was very hopeful in feeling. There was some party at my apartment, then another party down by a lake. Many people from my past came in at some point or another. When I woke up today, there were elements of my dream that were still very stuck with me. For example, I dreamt that I moved my apartment keys to another more accessible position on my keychain. Leaving for the gym this morning, I was surprised that I had not actually moved my keys - that had been only in my dream.
The question is: should I organize my keychain? Do dreams that seem to blend in so well with the real world hold any lessons for that world or are they just processing? Are they just my brain trying to organize what has already happened without actually producing any answers?
