I forget how useful it can be to surrender my troubles to my dream state.
It’s not a fail-safe method, but letting my subconscious go forth and fetch a solution or two is like magic.
No, it’s not like ordering a pizza. Delivery isn’t assured and the toppings are unpredictable, but it’s worth a whirl. Turning my pensive evening thoughts into questions, wondering WWDD (What Would Dad Do) has its payoffs.
In this week’s podcast, Wynne and I talk about a recent epiphany…obscure at first but on-point once I connected the dots.
Oh – and this. I need to share! Insight, for me, often comes with its own soundtrack. I don’t struggle to summon a tune…they just arrive and this experience, the one shared in our “A” is for Ambivalence episode is brought to you by a favorite from the Mamas and the Papas. Not just my papa 😉 who also loved the song. A dreamy melody. Restorative and calming. The lyrics make me sway with early morning happiness:
Stars shinin’ bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper, “I love you”
Birds singin’ in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of meSweet dreams ’til sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams, whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me-Songwriters Gus Kahn, Wilbur Schwandt & Fabian Andre
After all that build-up, here’s the clip and allllllll the links. Listen, watch, enjoy and let us know what you think.
