A little thoughtful spot
Gone all Winnie-the-Pooh "ish" this morning!
I think it may have all started with a very strange, sorrowful, odd dream I had last night. I remember, ages ago, blogging a bit about dreams and whilst I never did get into really studying them (and thus, am no closer to working out "why"), I still find the topic fascinating! I don't really think about them much unless it's one that, for some reason, left me feeling unsettled or sad or ridiculously happy or whatever. Also, those ones that are incredibly "real" - like you wake up and almost think "did that happen or not?" - those always make me think too.
Anyway, last night's dream left me feeling somewhat disturbed although it wasn't scary or unpleasant - it happened like this ..... I found myself in this big, old house - the sort you'd see in horror movies only it didn't feel haunted or scary, just old and a bit dark. I was wearing this long (floor length) black dress, no shoes (!) and my hair was all loose and just hanging down my back. I wandered around this house, drifting from room to room, opening doors and there was never anything there - just empty rooms. Eventually, I came to a wide hallway and there were some childen (didn't see their faces) doing circus acts (like juggling) on the stairs and completely ignoring the fact that there was an old lady lying on the hall floor. I've no idea whether she was ill or injured or just asleep. I felt momentarily panicked thinking "why is everyone ignoring her?!" and then I just wandered on and found myself in another room. I stood there, it felt like there were no more rooms to wander into and then a man walked in (again, like the children, couldn't see his face). He was wearing a white shirt and dark trousers and he had dark hair - he came up to me and embraced me and I did the same back to him and lay my head against his chest and sighed but it was a sort of sad little sigh .... and that was it ... the end. Don't remember anything else after that.
So what was all that about then? Honestly? Dark houses, me looking all gothic, empty rooms, kids doing juggling, all ladies lying motionless and, finally, a mysterious man. What on earth?....... The human mind is truly and very, very bizarre thing!
Anyhow, got to get myself in gear now and go hunting for Rosie's birthday present - her birthday is on the 28th so not long - can't believe she'll be 12! Nearly a teenager .... oh. my. god.
Might take some blogging-time out now (actually, just get off the computer full stop!) until the new week so have a lovely weekend won't you? :)
