Never let the weather spoil your fun

I had a wonderful feel good dream last night / this morning. A really vivid dream that was, as is usually the case with my dreams, a little strange in parts. It was a dream that I only realised was a dream after I had woke up, so my Lucid Dreaming experience has once again eluded me for this time. One day, when I find myself in one of these vivid dreams, I will realise, and the Lucid Dreaming part of my life will commence properly.

Anyway, onto the dream.

I woke up early and looked out of the window, which was actually a door that led out onto a neatly cut green lawn that after a few metres sloped down onto a beach. The sky was most cærulean in colour, not a cloud in sight. Kites, on the other hand were plentiful, as the golden sands were full of people out to enjoy the glorious sunshine. At 7am the sun was invigoratingly warm, casting a radiant glow over everything that could be seen. The green of the lawn was of the brightest imaginable. I’ve already mentioned the sand and the sky, and the colours of the clothes people were wearing were also alive. A fantastic start to the day!

I had an urgency to get myself ready to go outside. I dashed over to one of two chests of drawers that were in the room. This chest had four small drawers t the top and bottom, and two large drawers in the middle. I was looking in the top left-hand drawer for a pair of shorts that I wanted to wear. I found one red pair of shorts, and took them out of the drawer, only to find that they were too old. The waistband was torn, and coming away. The stitches were loose, and even part of the design that went around the waistband had come away from the material. Very strange. I realised that I couldn’t wear that pair, and placed them onto the bed. The next pair of shorts, also red, looked as though they were eight sizes too small for me, but I tried them on, and they fit perfectly.

Also in the drawer were several tee shirts (that I haven’t seen in years!), and I remember having a great time thinking about the fun times when I wore them last! I took out a black and white horizontal striped tee shirt, that I used to always wear with these shorts, and popped it on.

I needed some light footwear to go outside, so decided to wear a pair of white sneaker boots that I used to wear when I was twenty one. I have no idea where they came from, but I put them on anyway!

I also wanted a pair of ankle socks to wear inside the sneakers, but couldn’t find any, so settled for a pair of knee length sports socks. I have no idea where they had come from either, but there you go!

So, I was now ready.

Before I ventured outside, I wanted to have a look through the other chest of drawers for something. This chest was in an alcove, beside a now unused chimney breast. There were four large drawers in this chest, which was extremely old, and made of a heavy wood, so it wasn’t very easy to move. I opened the second drawer down first, for some reason, and was met by a very cool draught. The side of the drawer had been removed, as too had some bricks from the wall in the chimney breast. I knew that something had to have been hidden inside the chimney, and decided that I would look into this later. I wanted to get outside into that glorious sunshine.

It’s at this point in the dream where things go ever so slightly strange.

I walked over to the door, and saw that the blue sky had now become grey. The beach had emptied. And it was raining. Not only raining, but snowing as well! Large snowflakes were sticking to the window outside, but nowhere else. I could only see the rain from beyond the lawn.

My cousin was staying in the room next to mine, and I ventured out onto the lawn and looked through his window to see if he was ready. He pointed to the weather, and said that he was, but said that our other cousin was coming to meet us with her friend. (I’ve not seen either of these cousins for a very long time, so decided to go back into my room, and enter my cousin’s room through the inside door, rather than the outside one. I should have realised here that I was dreaming, but didn’t!

After a short wait, there was a knock at the inside door, and my cousin opened it. The two girls came in, and the friend was a girl I work with, Lisa. Only Lisa had a fake thumbnail attached to her nose. At this point, I most definitely should have known I was dreaming. People never walk around with thumbnails on their noses, but this seemed a perfectly natural thing for her to be doing.

We chatted for a moment, and then went outside to lounge on the lawn as the sunshine had returned, warmer and brighter than before. And it was here that my dream ended.

I woke feeling very good, very happy. The way you feel on a brilliantly sunny day! I wasn’t put off by the brief shower in the middle in the slightest!

I wished that I had looked inside the chimney breast though. There’s a mystery I may never get to solve. What was hidden? Why were the holes left uncovered? And why was I seeing clothes I haven’t seen for decades? And what was the meaning of the thumbnail?

Maybe one day (night) I’ll revisit this room and find out the answers. I have the feeling that I owned the house – I have many dreams where I own a very large house with many spacious rooms, but usually I explore all of the house. In this dream, I was only in the two rooms, but there was more to it beyond the corridor.

So, there it is. My Friday night Saturday morning feel good dream. Not a bad way to start the weekend!!!

And I feel good too! (Have I mentioned that?)
