Interesting dream last night. I was in an area that had hiking trails, climbing locations, and some snow-related sites. I was with a childhood friend (who kept changing into a friend I knew back in the 70's-80's'--they would just morph one into the other as events unfolded). We started out at a cafe that was near a lake. I had wanted to see some of the area and he suggested that we ride his motorcycle to start with. We climbed aboard his cycle and went careening off through the area. For most of the ride, we took small alternate routes that paralleled some of the main roads, but were only single trail routes for cycles or hikers.

We rode for quite a while, following the lakes on one side and main roads on the other. We came to a parking area and began to hike up a route that would take us to the edge of the snow fields and give us a view of the gorge. We climbed higher and higher and came to the edge of the snow fields. People had constructed shelters there that were open and spacious. Inside the shelters, everything was neatly arranged and organized. To signal that a place was taken, the residents had laid out their gear and clothing near the doorways of each place.

We walked past the shelters and came up on a ridge and steep drop-off into a gorge. The colors were orange and red and were magnificent. We stepped close to the drop-off. There was a section near the edge that was covered in small, shiny black pebbles. My friend seemed to indicate that we had to be careful walking on those spots. There was danger of the ground giving way in those places.

We took in the views and then hiked down a steep trail that brought us to a camping area. There were some cabins there and I realized that it was where I had set up my camping spot. We entered the camp ground and he said goodbye and went to retrieve his cycle. I went to my camp site and fell asleep.

The dream was sharp and clear, and the colors were amazing.

Awoke a bit later than normal. Just wanted to keep wrapped up and warm, but finally managed to get up. Did exercises and ate breakfast, then went for walk. Did loop that takes me by the donut shop. Picked up a sticky bun and returned to the apartment. There was some activity on the gas line project, but it was that loud or intrusive. Set up lamps and treated my hands. Felt good. My left hand is better today--perhaps a combo of the laser and heat sessions that I've had.

Shaved and showered, and did the life force exercises. Met L for a great dinner (Afghan vege plate). Symptoms have been on/off all day--cold weather has an effect so I've been trying to stay warm. They also get quiet after meals. Like now--I'm warm, fed and symptom-free (could be a song).

Feels like an early bed time tonight. Didn't really rest/nap today although was nodding some during the heat treatments. Supposed to rain late tonight. Sunny in the morrow--Thanksgiving Day! Spare the bird and spoil the dinner! Thank goodness!
