I do have a reoccurring dream that doesn’t reoccur anymore.

Funny how that winds up to be the case.

It’s about snakes.

But that’s a story for another time.

I woke up this morning, with my shirt half way across the room.

I don’t recall doing it, but it must have been urgent as I thew it across the room.

It must have taken quite a bit of strength.

It must have been quite a bit of a dream.

I don’t like to sleep without a shirt, I fear I’ll get a cold.

A shirt after all is the last line of defence in keeping your body warm.

When I was younger, I drilled into my mind that I could wake up and end up in some godforsaken land, transported by some magical or powerful being.

“Movies will rot your brain” my father told me.

I wonder what sort of dream I must have had to compel me to take off my shirt.

Was I hot or on fire? Would having my shirt allowed demons to know my position and be able to follow me and capture me?

What if it was a beautiful summers day, and I was at the waterfalls. We’d just found a nice place to place our bags and sit down. We laugh, we smile, we talk and be joke. We take off our shoes and socks…

When I moved to Canada I needed someone to talk to, so I began talking to myself. I’ve got a backlog of thoughts. How soon will we hit the present?
