Of Something…Something… Balance…

I had a weird dream. I dreamt that I was passionately delivering a public speech at some grand occasion.

I got a standing ovation or maybe people just stood up to sing the national anthem.

When I woke up the words were imprinted on my mind, I could trace them as if they were embossed characters. I was impressed at my eloquence and immediately decided to sit up and write them down.

Of Something… something… balance…

To my shock, I could not recall past that it had something to do with some scale of balance, a weighing of deeds…

The more I tried to reach out and pluck the words from my waking memory, the further they away they drifted, like a ghost of memory lost at the just beyond the edge of recollection. 

The details of the entire dream have already faded into oblivion and now I am haunted by the thought of an inspirational feat of eloquence forever confined to the graveyard of unremembered dreams….

I slept, I dreamt, I forgot

    If you dreamt it, it happened. Maybe not on this plane of existence, but it was still you.

      It felt real, I could feel the sweat in my palms, the slight feedback of my voice from the microphone and the reverberation of the applause!!!

    Dreams sometimes give us something to work towards.

    It is proof that we dream not only in words within images, but of emotions and scenes where the actual words are blurred without being missed. Remarkable and weird.
