Up, up and away!


First things first… White Rabbits for October, the eighth month, although now in modern times it is the tenth month. The second month of the ‘Bers, the second month of Autumn, and the antepenultimate month of the year. Where has the time gone?

Luckily Betelgeuse is still with us, so that’s good! Hopefully that will be the case for the next million years as well…

And tonight’s Moon is looking mighty fantastic, I must say! The Full Moon was yesterday, but this evening the Moon is hovering quite low in the sky, and appearing quite a lot larger than usual.

When I saw it earlier, just over the rooftops, the sky was a very deep blue. A black cloud covered the bottom part of the Moon, making the top part all the more bright, and clouds above were reflecting the silvery glow beneath them. A magical sight… one for Halloween, I would say, which is just around the corner.

The next Full Moon actually falls in Halloween week, but on the Monday, as Halloween is on the Wednesday. Still, weather permitting, it should still be able to cast some of its magic over the spooky period!

But, back to today.

Last night actually.

Yes, I flew again!

I’ve not had a flying dream for quite a few months now, but last night I did. I returned, rather unsteadily I must add, to the skies. I was flying this time though, not swimming in the air or jumping really high as I’ve done in the past, but flying.

I didn’t want to go too high in case I fell, but I was high enough. Well above the rooftops and treetops and telephone lines. I could feel the cool air in my face as I flew forwards, flying as Superman would, but without the outstretched arm.

I did get a little over confident though at one point in the dream, and flew between anything I could find… underneath archways in bushes, through open windows, along corridors, and at speed above a quiet road. It was very invigorating… and I didn’t fall!

I do like my flying dreams! And I really like it when I fly well!

Back to Earth now though, for a chilled out Monday evening… the first one in October for a whole year!

And a random October fact to end on… October starts on the same day of the week that January starts on, except in a leap year, so this year it didn’t! Also this year, no other month starts on the same day of the week as October. You never know when this information may come in handy!

Have a great Monday night!

Have a great October!

    Yes Tom that Moon is well bright between the clouds… and I saw it in the early morning sky at 6am also and its not often its that bright either at that time in the morning. as it hung low…

    Flying ….. Its great that you are flying again High Tom… Me too… I am certain we are remembering how we used to.. 😉
    Also I had a strange one myself.. animals and plants mutating and yet i could tell what they once were… like a swan was now a sea-weed type of fish…. every animal went back into the ocean as some other animal/type fish… Maybe all this Rain Hey Tom… But lots in there which is very symbolic of the Times.. and our friends from the skies came to speak.. LOL..
    Very real too…
    And yes I was flying up over trees too…. in control and stronger than Ive flown in a dream for some time..
    Interesting… dont you think?

      Very interesting, Sue! Especially the control we both had in our flights! I was wary at first, but soon got into my stride… and, as you say, very, VERY real.
      Your animal and plant dream sounds an interesting one as well, Sue… an indication of change ahead perhaps? It’s all around us anyway, but we keep getting these reminders don’t we?

    Hi Tom! 🙂

    I had nightmares the past few nights, so a flying dream would have been a vast improvement! 🙂

    God Bless!

    I always love your flying dreams, Tom. The last dream I remember (I’m actually TRYING to remember them now because of you), I was driving on a steep, crooked road with my cousin. We crashed into an alpine lake, and I lost all my luggage and had nothing to wear. What’s even weirder for me is that I think I know what it means……

      I think that it’s great that you are remembering your dreams now, Andra… and the fact that you are interpreting them is even better! I just take mine at face value, although I do like trying to make sense of them occasionally!

    October does have an awesome feel to it doesn’t it? I made baked pumpkin seeds last night and thought, “Yep, it’s that time again”.

          I’ve taken half a day’s holiday. And the rest of the week off! It’s like a Friday to me! *Mwah ha ha ha* – that was meant to be evil laughter, Halloween style, but doesn’t seem to hit the mark…

    Is the picture that of the moon you saw? That is a lovely and breathtaking picture of the moon! I do like it when the moon is HUGE…it makes one pause to wonder at what it means, sort of reminds us that we are indeed a planet, in a galaxy, one of the billions of planets out there…you know?
    Yay to your flying dreams…where were you flying by the way? In the UK?

      Do you know, Shree, I have just been out and the Moon reminded me that I’d seen this comment of yours yet hadn’t replied to it!
      This is one of my pictures, made to represent the Moon that I saw that night, it was large! It does make you wonder about the Universe!
      As to where I was flying in my dream – now there’s a thought… I don’t really know. I presume it was in the UK, but you know with dreams, I could have been anywhere!

          Thanks, Shree. This Moon picture was made up of PNGs obtained off the internet and put together in PowerPoint. A cheap graphic design, I suppose…
