Dreams

Lately I have been seeing articles on many web sites about older people and families getting really bored with the lockdown.

My problem is dreams.

I used to record my night time stories in a diary, but after thirty years do not care to do that anymore. They were not enlightening or entertaining.

Mostly stuff about being in a glider and looking for a place to land, or flying through big warehouses.

Really crazy stuff.

Now it is nightmarish stuff where I am cooking up some stew in a big pot, but fish a pair of sandals out , and one tennis shoe.

I proceed to throw it all on the wall, and then have to clean it up.

Other dreams involve intricate puzzles and games with serious consequences, but I wake up with all unresolved.

I am sure these nightmares have something to do with all our nasty stuff going on in the political world, but somehow cannot care.

A lot of our news deals with death continuously, so it is not surprising that I dream of crematoriums and serious penalties.

I even dreamt that I had a big toe amputated, but a blood test showed all was normal.

There is so much negative in this world right now it is hard to remain optimistic about the human condition.

These worries come out in dreams that turn into nightmares.

Thanks a lot- world!
