Dreams

As you know, I pay attention to my dreams and, in fact, work hard to retrieve them--something that's gotten harder, frankly, with aging. DEAR AGING, WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO HARSH?

Anyway, this morning I woke up wondering why I bother to remember, because truthfully most of my dreams are mildly to hugely unpleasant. Like last night I dreamed this.

Random Dream Person who I Don't Know in Real Life: I've been meaning to tell you this for awhile, but you smell bad.

Me: I do?

Random Dream Person: Yes, you do.

Me: (with growing horror) Have I always smelled bad?

Random Dream Person: Bingo.

Really? These are the dreams I'm so desperate to remember? I think I'll get a new hobby.

    I LOVE my dreams and I have SO many! Even the freaky ones are very entertaining.

    I agree that I have a hard time hanging onto them - but I only exert my energies on ensnaring the good ones!

    So funny and so out of nowhere. You smell like an English garden, of course.

    I gave up trying to remember my dreams...I think menopause put an end to my memory.
    Loved your mother's day column....I wish I could remember it..but I know I loved it...I really did.

    sometimes I think we're twins or something.

    You always smell good and I may just have to beat the unknown Random Dream Person up for saying such a silly thing. Better dreams.
