THE DREAM ZONE |
"Sleep hath its own world." –From "The Dream" by Lord Byron with Lauri Quinn Loewenberg I dreamed I was holding this tiny little baby in my hands. It was not my baby; someone had given it to me. It was asleep, so I put it in a bowl of corn flakes and milk to take a nap! I realized this wasn't the right thing to do, so I took it out. I remember it still had a corn flake stuck to its head. What in the world does this mean? – Jenna, 34, Virginia Beach, VA Lauri: Ha! The dreaming mind certainly has a sense of humor, doesn't it? The little baby in your dream is a responsibility you have been handed recently, a small responsibility that has big potential. Through this dream you are reminding yourself not to be a "flake." You've got to follow through! People are relying on you. Janet replies: That's me! I'm good at not following through with things. At work I'm supposed to be following up with a couple of clients. I need to get on the ball. Fascinating Sleep Fact: According to the National Sleep Research Project, ducks at risk of attack by predators can balance the need for sleep and survival. They keep one half of the brain awake while the other half sleeps. Lauri Quinn Loewenberg's website is thedreamzone.com |
