I had a beautiful dream!

I know, that phrase has been used a time or two, but bear with me.

Last night I had a dream that was incredibly foreign to my daily life. I was sitting on the porch of a wood cabin, in the woods. Snow was all around, very quiet and calm. I was utterly at peace. Reflecting on how lucky I was that all of my loved ones are safe. I was so grateful, and humbled, that my loved ones were spared. It was beautiful.

In reality I live in a city that is on shelter in place. I have to go into work, despite my DH being compromised, so am exercising extreme caution in all ways. Have not had a human in my home for two weeks, and will continue that way for the duration. Wide berths for anyone, lots of hand and object hygiene. I am worried sick about my extended family, my DC, my DGSs and my DH. Missing hugging my DGS's is a physical pain.

I am also critter phobic so the last place I would be at ease is a cabin in the woods. Also, not so keen on the cold. Why my psyche chose this message is beyond me.

All of that being said, I am so grateful for that dream. Today I am much calmer.

Perhaps it was God gave you that lovely, gorgeous dream Wink

Please can I have one like that. I'm freaking right out, trying very hard to calm down but it's a powerful fear. Just saying.

I'm starting a mindfulness course (online 🙄) which may help me along... I feel like I need to meditate 20 times a day to get this beast off my back.

Sorry, don't want to spoil your lovely dream, you lucky thing.

@springydaff I have to think it was some power outside of me.

It is a powerful fear we are feeling. The worst I've ever felt. I get you. Love that you are using the mindfulness course, and meditating. Please tell me how it goes.

I shall cross my fingers and hope for a dream for you too Flowers
