Type A Dream
My dreams would be
somebody else's nightmare.
In them, I am always
looking after multiple children,
all under the age of five,
including twin babies.
I am baking masses of things
from scratch,
and the cat is giving birth to kittens,
(I dont even have a cat!)
Simultaneously,
I am running a laundry.
A load of whites simmers
in the big kettle
over the open fire
(just to make this situation
slightly more challenging -
no mod cons in MY dreams!)
and there is a cacophony of noise
to keep me rattled and distracted.
Then I wake up.
Thank God.
Waking becomes
a dream.
Time for tea.
Make mine a double,
after such a busy night.
This is delightful, Sherry. My dreams are similar - trying to solve problems I don't even really have. ;) ha. As if life itself didn't throw enough our way!
ReplyDeletei am ALWAYS chasing lost children and cats in my anxiety dreams. ack!
ReplyDeleteYou ARE the original Mother Earth!!
ReplyDeleteMy anxiety dreams see me in a classroom with extra impossible students and some impossible deadline that must be reached.. Waking up is often more restful.
ReplyDeleteCor blimey... I remember my mum 'cooking' the whites ...LOL They used to smell sooo fresh though. No wonder you're always tired. Your nights are as busy as your days!!!
ReplyDelete:)
Such a cacophony of busy scenarios in your night! Crisp slideshow of intriguing images!
ReplyDeleteYikes, running a laundry does sound like a nightmare, especially when you have to boil the clothes. Multiple children under age 5 -- YIKES, even if some of them are little girls!
ReplyDeleteAll that activity...you must wake up exhausted...I think my mind is too lazy to dream...
ReplyDeletei was also going to say that you must be exhausted by the time you wake up!
ReplyDeletei must say the multiple children and lack of modern conveniences would definitely be a nightmare for me.

In that dream, I am exhausted and only happy to wake up and relax ~
ReplyDeleteWhat a busy night ~ Wishing you happy weekend ~
Ah Sherry, another thing we have in common, strange multi-layered dreams that defy the ability to just stay balanced. Wonderful post,
