Dream big

My wife and I are on a vacation somewhere cold and snowy.  We get separated.  I realize my phone and wallet are missing. Eventually my keys disappear also. The disturbing thing about this was my lack of concern. It occurred to me that my wife would be upset because she couldn't call. Don't get me wrong, my personal effects are an important part of my daily routine. Still, the day grows nearer when they will never be needed again.

Generally my dreams bear little or no resemblance to events in my life, but ... later today an office co-worker misplaced his phone and told about losing both sets of keys to his car two years earlier. Maybe l was somehow telegraghing to him. Maybe coincidence. Maybe we're all connected in some unsettling way.

Dream Fore

There was other stuff in this dream, but it ended with a woman I don't know walking with me on an ice flow. The ice was generally white, but there were shallow pools that had what looked like pink granular volcanic rock, maybe.

I stopped walking while crossing one of these pools and sunk in to my waist. With some urgency,  I asked the woman to grab my hand. We both had on gloves and she gingerly gripped my fingers. As I continued to sink she let go and said, hold on I'll be right back. I quickly went under and could feel the acceleration of falling through the water slush. I continued breathing under water and woke up.

In the morning my wife informed me Great Britain had voted to leave. Shocking.

Death

Someone near and dear to me is a wonderful person, as long as they are near death.

From this we extrapolate that the world would be a great place if we could keep everyone thinking they had one foot in the grave.
