Adventure #8: Last Night (or really four nights ago) I Had the Strangest Dream


Dreams are answers to questions we haven't yet figured out how to ask.  ~X-Files


I may not have sailed away to China in a little row boat to find you nor did you have to have your laundry cleaned but my dream was just a revealing as to the nature of the state of my life.

The building was collapsing around me. The only way out was to jump. Even if it was only 10 or 15 feet, I was terrified. Scared to my core, there was no way I could just let go and jump. And then I saw the solution! Laying conveniently on the ground was a ladder! Now if only someone could hand it to me...wait, someone was there - it was Linsey!

"Hand me the ladder," I cried, from relief and exhaustion.

"No, just jump!" Linsey responded.

Aghast, I did not move. That was so mean!

Once more, she responded, "Just jump."

Waking up, I wondered, Was that just a dream?
