I’ve dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas: they’ve gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the colour of my mind.

dreams that have stayed with me
I dreamed of having a book by me on a bookstore shelf, and that came true!
I’m so happy for you, Jane! It’s a wonderful thing when a dream finally comes true!
I used to remember all my dreams. Some of them lifechanging. x
I don’t remember most of my dreams but there have been a few that prompted a change in the course in my life… Unfortunately, my spider nightmares remain vividly in my memory…
This post made me think about which of my life dreams stayed with me and changed me – and which didn’t.
I dreamed of going to Norway to explore the land of some of my ancestors. Not sure why Norway called to me so much. Finally got to go when I was 58, and now I want to go again even more…
Wasn’t sure what kind of dreams we were talking about; waking (hopes and) dreams or sleeping dreams.
I totally “get” your feeling called to visit Norway. Places tug at our hearts. Last year at the age of 67 I went on my own to visit family in England. It was a very special trip and although the world is full of marvellous other places, my heart is calling me back to England.
I think we were talking about both kinds of dreams. 🙂
It’s funny how some people love to travel for the sake of traveling and try to see as many different places as they can. Not me! When I was in Norway I felt like I was in a waking dream, it was just as I imagined it would be, and I felt at home there. Here’s hoping you and I get back to England and Norway some day soon.
great quote and lovely artwork Barbara 🙂
Thank you, Tai! I love the watery colors in the painting. 🙂
