35. I'm travelling - moving stuff from place to place - forget where I left stuff - going back to

Sat Jan 9, 2016, 09:38 AM

Jan 2016

places - trying to find stuff - despairing and frustrated because Ive left stuff behind - clothes, books, home furnishings etc. - and don't remember how or where to find it.

Oddly... now that I'm semi-retired and returning to some creative projects Im not having that dream anymore. Its like Im getting my life back after a long miserable stint as a member of the work force. Actually the jobs weren't so bad it was just having to be there 40 hrs + every week plus all the hours commuting, preparing for work etc

There was a time when it was that same damn dream literally all night, every night.

Oh I had one funny variation after I semi-retired. I'm just sitting around not stressing when all of a sudden I notice that all my missing stuff is reappearing via some space-warp portal under my bed - LOL! l All this stuff is coming back and its kind like pushing my bed away from the wall and pouring out from under it.

I love dreams - the metaphors can be so concise and meaningful
