Last night I had a dream that an old friend I've not seen in a couple of years came back to our house and we all had a joyful reunion.

He played a song on guitar that I did not remember. One line of it was still in my head when I awoke. So I went to the computer and searched based on the line I could remember.

I found the song was Peter, Paul and Mary - 500 Miles. I loved listening to it.

Wow, I'm sure I must have heard that song growing up, but when the last time I heard it was too long ago to remember. And I am quite sure I never heard my friend play it.

The sleeping brain is an amazing thing.

Wow, I dreamt an old friend visited overnight and after she left I realized I had accidentally left $500,000 in her suitcase. So maybe this is something I could actually unwittingly be remembering?

Everything about the brain is amazing to me. To our knowledge, it's the most powerful "machine" in the universe......perhaps because it embodies the universe, and/or is the "observer", the factor which holds the unimaginable truth, provided by Quantum physics, that merely by observing an event we dramatically alter it......Also, our brains contain a "spiritual aspect" which is not quantifiable. Maybe try this: get a map and, using your bed as the center, take a compass and draw a circle extending out to a 500 mile radius and see where the line intersects everything 500 miles away.......you might find something interesting, significant or symbolic. Then again, it may be just a cool old folk song that swam through your dream pool......

My husband, in years past, would be (before going to bed) mulling over a seeminglly impossible to solve software glitch at this one job he had, and would frequently wake up in the morning with a solution...and it would work.

I remember that song. I've dreamed of Arlo singing songs I never heard before. I must've written them in my sleep lol. I also have alot of dreams where I go to neat places like restaurants and shopping that are like what they had int he 60's & 70's. Guess I want to go back to those days. I love the dreams where Mike is still alive & we are going shopping & eating out & doing things together. So sad when they end. I hate the dreams where he dies, then comes back to life & dies again. They are such terrible nightmares...

Cheryl, I am happy when I hear of you dreaming of Mike and you together. I hope you have these dreams often.

Who knows what the next phase of us will bring. I hope we are all reunited with our loved ones.

Imagine you and Mike together again.

I like my sleeping brain too. Trouble is you gotta wake it up once in a while. It's a shame George W. didn't seem to know that. :wink:

Thanks ya'll. He was the only man I ever loved, the only guy I ever went out with more than once & my only boyfriend. When I first met him I thought I wasn't in love but time changed things & he grew on me. Thanks to Mike & Arlo, it has helped me mature & grow up more...
