It’s 6.53am and I feel like I’ve been in a fight, or through a war already this morning. I can tell it’s going to be a wild day outside so I’m still wrapped up in bed, soaking in sleep as the rain pummels the ground outside.
I just can’t shake my nightmares from last night. It’s been a long time since it happened, but I woke up crying from these dreams and now feel wounded from it all. Sad dreams about friend’s and loved ones are probably the worst ones. Though… They’re only your imaginations.
Lately I have been reading the book of Daniel. I love the way Daniel acknowledges that his dreams are often divine visions and not simply a mind work-out. The bible is littered with stories about dreams and visions- so you know that God works through the imagination and the night!
I will make up for my nightmares by daydreaming today. Nothing so lovely as to imagine… It relaxes your striving and planning mode- and when you’re moving house, there is a lot of planning to be done!
A favourite song of mine is Amos Lee’s Dreamin’. A smooth voice, unexpected vocal lines and lovely opening line:
“my soul is as open as the sky, most of the time it’s just as blue”…
