a very uplifting dream

[Callie McAllie]

My dream last night: I was driving with my husband on vacation someplace warmer. Maybe they said something about this on the radio, but I just had this feeling that everything was about to change.

That's when we came upon this big bridge, reminded me of a big bridge from an island in SC that we have visited, (up, up, down, down, concrete side walls, n girders or cables overhead, 4 lanes wide open, no traffic, designed to evacuate the island in case of hurricane).

It was night, and maybe we were in a convertible, because as we neared the top of the bridge, I could see all these constellations overhead. They were lined up, one above the next, straight ahead of us. "The stars are aligned," I said to him. It was breathtaking.

Just as we reached the apex of the bridge, I was filled with nervous anticipation and anxiety. In real life, I have a particularly sharp phobia about driving over bridges, so I'm always anxious at that point on a bridge, but in the dream it felt like whatever was on the other side would be beautiful and so worth the trip. I couldn't wait to see it.

I woke up just at that point.

I hope in reality we are at the top of the bridge and about to cross to the other side, don't you?
