Dreams

I have always loved my dreams. They say we have 30-40 dreams a night. Most are not remembered. We usually only remember the ones just before we wake, if at all. Some people will try to make the statement. “I don’t have any dreams.” Nonsense, you may not be able to remember them, but we all have them.

Recently I have been having travel dreams. It’s been fun; I have been to China, India, Europe and South America all in my dreams. I figure I have a lot of travel yet to do in this lifetime. In my dream to China was I was shopping with a friend and picking out silk robes to take home.

When I was in 8th grade I had a great geography teacher. What was so great is that she had been to these places. They were not some spot on a globe they were stories, adventures and costumes. She would collect native costumes of the places she visited, if we were good at the end of the semester we could try on one of the outfits. I had my eye on her Sari, and made sure to be extra good, in the end I was able to have first pick and I was able to get into the Sari. Since then I have made it a goal to have one of my own.

I had always loved looking at the globe and thinking about the different places and what it must be like to be there. In my younger years I watched a lot of National Geographic shows and saw some of the places on TV. It’s so much better to go and see for myself. I have not been to all the places I want to go to, yet. I have no idea how some people cane see these things on TV and not want to get up and go for themselves. I want to see these things for myself and have my own stories to tell. It makes life so much more interesting.


Lately I have not had the funds to travel and I think the open road and skies are calling me. Wanting me to go on adventures and see things for myself. I feel that’s why I am having all these travel dreams. For now I will have to take the journey in my mind. Later I will be able to hit the trails. Not that lack of money or time will stop me from dreaming big of adventures to be had places to discover or Sari’s to be found.
