In case it proves in any way prescient
Last night, my sleep was full of dreams.

There was a series of nested dreams. Five or six times, I "woke" only to find somehow that I was still dreaming. Each time I "woke", I found evidence that there had been an earthquake. It must have been minor, I told myself in the dreams, since I had slept through it. However, it was strong enough to have burst my windows, cracked the ceiling, and strewn my possessions around. My answering machine (a weird, recurring motif in my dreams of late), was flashing many messages that I knew were from concerned friends and family, but I couldn't seem to remember how to work the phone.

When I woke for real, with a profound feeling of relief, I immediately went to my computer to see if there had been a minor quake the night before -- there hadn't.

Of course, the quake in my dreams should not be taken literally. I find myself wondering..

What in my life is about to be dismantled?

What do I want to shake up?

Interesting...like I'm cracking the walls I've built.

Oh, this just made me think of something else. I've created a lovely little cocoon for myself here, but perhaps I spend too much time in it...perhaps, comfort and security -- and solitude -- is not what I need right now...not even what I most want???

Thank you, Frau Dokter!

that sounds like my modus operandi! :)
