I'm back in the saddle....Happy New Year!
Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living. - Anais Nin
I have been remembering my dreams. Occasionally, they involve film directors, among them Ron Howard, of whom I have never been particularly fond, and Stephen Spielberg who is in my mind a genius. Though the details were a little hazy in my directors’ dream, Spielberg and I (naturally) shared a very exciting adventure, something along the lines of Indiana Jones and the last Crusade.
Last night, I had to choose between two jobs: the last one I had in the real world, working for public television and the job before that, where I worked for an independent record company. This dream was clearer, and the images were vivid in my mind, probably because it occurred just while the alarm was going off this morning.
What is always true in these menageries of my imagination is that I am fully functional, the way it was many years ago, and I no longer have to worry about the challenges of multiple sclerosis. Occasionally, when I wake from these exhilarating dreams, I momentarily forget that I have MS. Because I can move about so freely in my dreams, there is a sense in the early-morning fog between slumber and wakefulness that maybe, just maybe, I can get out of bed in the conventional way. Just throw my legs over the side and stand up in order to go to the bathroom.
