Lately I've been writing down what I can remember of my dreams. I've done this from time to time over the years, but it has been quite a while. My purpose is to see what kinds of things are rattling around in my dream consciousness.
The current theme seems to be various things that I'm looking for, or expecting, that somehow manage to vanish before I can grasp them.
I remember some time back that I had frequent dreams that I could float, or fly, whenever I wanted to. That dream seems to have flown away for the time being.
Another thing I've noticed is how events or themes from the day before become woven into the dreams. For instance, yesterday there was news about the Detroit bankruptcy, a court decision allowing pensions to be modified, and reaction from the union. Last night, in one of my dreams, I belonged to a union.
One of my accomplishments at work yesterday was to research and write a briefing paper on short notice. In my dream, I wrote a paper and was a little anxious about how it would be received.
Several of my recent dreams have had settings reminiscent of Juneau, Alaska and surrounds. Another dream last night featured an unmanned boat - perhaps inspired by recent news about aircraft drones.
I do miss being able to fly. Perhaps I'll get that dream back sometime soon.
