Sun Day without the shining orb! No rays today to warm the hay! It feels chilly and damp.

I had an intense dream last night. I was in a city. The streets were full of trash and debris. I was with another person and we were looking for someone that we needed to contact. However, we stood out like sore thumbs in the neighborhoods we had to explore. At times, we were the only Caucasians that could be seen--everyone around us were from different ethnic groups. Most everyone, but the two of us, looked like they were criminals or member of different street gangs.

We had parked the car at the border to the area we had to investigate. But, after walking around, we decided to get back to the vehicle and postpone our investigations until the next morning. We made it back to the car, but when I pulled out, I sent us up a narrow street where I couldn't turn around. I had to keep following the narrow access we were on--behind us other cars now blocked any hope of returning the way we had come. I decided to turn on the next road that was perpendicular to our current route. A place came up on the right and I turned the corner and accelerated. Unfortunately, that street began to narrow immediately and in addition looked like it was going to dead end shortly. Even as that thought registered, the road ended, blocked by a mound of dirt. I decided to accelerate and just go over the barrier. When my front wheels topped the barrier, we saw that there was no road on the other side--just a steep down slope and an empty field. About then, the vehicle began to dig into dirt at the top of the barrier. It crunched to a stop with the vehicle balanced on the top of the berm. We were stranded and the people in the cars behind us were exiting their vehicles and moving in our direction.

The dream ended and I awoke with a jolt. The themes of searching and uncovering something seems to permeate my dreams.

I just ate a very late lunch! I slept in this morning, went for latte, and came back and napped into the afternoon. I had a huge bowl of soup--that warmed me up.
