Day 44: Dreams can come true

After I published my blog entry last night, I bravely opened the freezer compartment of my fridge to see what I could have for dinner (and to check on the ice problem) and this is what I saw:

See, I wasn't exaggerating before.

I've already defrosted it once, about 3 weeks ago. Any advice (please) would be very much appreciated.

I think these late nights I've been having are starting to affect me. It's as if my body is secreting some sort of strange hormone to induce weird dreams - it can't just be me. The dream I had last night was so vivid. It was set on the day I was leaving Latvia to go back home. A taxi was waiting outside of the dorms to take me to the airport. I jumped in the taxi with excitement and there were two men sitting in the front - the driver and another passenger.

The engine started and the journey began. The red glow of the fare meter digits became brighter as the price slowly increased. We had driven about 800 metres away from the dorms when I realised I didn't bring my suitcases! Not even my hand luggage. I was screaming at the driver to stop the car but he just kept driving as if I was invisible... That, my friends, was more like a nightmare. And what makes it even worse is that it would mean all that fuss over suitcases pre-Latvia and hours spent packing would have been for nothing!

I've come to the conclusion that my subconscious packing jitters for a 4 month stay in France (instead of 3 in Latvia) are emulating in dream/nightmare form.



Gabrielle, I really don't want that dream to come true, just the good ones!

"Hope transforms pessimism into optimism. Hope is invincible. Hope changes everything. It changes winter into summer, darkness into dawn, descent into ascent, barrenness into creativity, agony into joy. Hope is the sun. It is light. It is passion. It is the fundamental force for life’s blossoming" - Daisaku Ikeda
