| Dear friend, |
|
I checked the forecast again and again yesterday for a walk I had already decided to go on, which tells you most of what you need to know about how I handle a good day.
|
|
There was nothing to check for. It was going to be fine, it was fine, and I spent a good part of the morning braced anyway.
|
|
That habit is what today is about, since the thing this symbol says is on its way is not dramatic, and bracing is exactly how people walk past it.
|
|
It is also, I think, the most useful thing this particular dream does.
|
|
|
|
|
What it is reporting
|
|
The measurement on this one points the other way from the folklore, since people who report feeling better in their waking lives seem to have these dreams more often rather than less, which makes it closer to a report on how things are than an escape from them.
|
|
|
|
|
So if you have had one recently, the reading is not that you want out. Something in your life is holding, and part of you noticed before the rest of you did.
|
|
Which brings the awkward question of what a person does with a stretch where nothing much is wrong, since most of us are far better practised at the other kind.
|
|
The answer turns out to be smaller than it sounds. You notice it, out loud, once.
