Sometimes I dream of flying. I’ve had that dream since I was eight. Not every night, but often it comes to me when I’m least prepared. I have other dreams as well, but this is the most real and bewildering. When it comes it grabs a hold of me so tight that I sleep for hours and it does not let go until it’s taken me more places than my brain can handle. And then I wake up.
Last time I had the dream was a few weeks ago. Immediately upon waking up, I jotted down some notes and keywords along with the date and time, then promptly fell back into a dreamless sleep. When I awoke, not only had I forgotten the dream, but also the fact that I had taken the notes.
Tonight, completely by accident I found them again, but now I can’t make any sense of them. I know the dream will come again soon. And when it does, I’ll be prepared.
