holiday dreams

My best dreams tend to be dark and strange. They're created from worries in my mind and the things I watch and read. Last night is a great example.

Just before bed, I watched a documentary on medieval children. Of course there was talk about the black plague and how half the population of England had died as a result. I also have been worrying a little about my future, moving to a new country where I know only a very few people. These add up to a dream of a coming apocalypse, how more than half the population leaves and I'm among the few who stay behind. It actually was an upbeat dream, with all things considered. We were building strong lives in a new world.

I've written up the dream, but I'm not certain whether or not to share the document on a blog. I may hold on to it, and use the ideas for other things.
