Ten Dreams Tuesday

Dreams
i have dreamed that I fell thru a wooden floor
i have dreamed that I experience a Missippi River Raft ride.
i have dreamed that I flew in the air like a bird with a backpack like engine.
i have dreamed that I was shot at but my shield was one of those metal trash can lids which kept the bullet from me...
i have dreamed mostly in black and white
i have dreamed of crossing a street over and over the same street.
i have dreamed that my teeth all fell out and floated around just outside my head.
i have dreamed that my teeth all fell out and floated around just outside my head.
i have dreamed many things but forget most of them.
i have dreams of enjoying life...

Dreams of Quilts

I rarely dream. My family thinks this is funny. If I remember my dream, then it is usually in black & white. When I close my eyes to get to sleep lots of times I see greens with a black background. These bits of green are like stars and or circles in horizontal grid. Is it just what I see when I close my eyes or is probably because I love quilts? More likely because of light, nerves and biorythms... The reason could be that I love quilts.

I love quilts. I wish I could sew, but I can not. So I penned & painted a dream "crazy quilt." I tried to put in bits of that green pattern, try to see the bits of "find some faces" too. All in all, here's to hoping that all is "dreamy" & well with you!  

Kids in Montgomery County Maryland are back to school today! Start of the Rat Race!
