a lesson in a dream

I had a marvelous dream last night. I was wearing a very frilly dress (a la Scarlet O'Hara), soaring like a bird through the air, and drinking champagne out of a green bottle! As I flew higher through the trees, I looked up and noticed that I could see, through the leaves, clouds dotted across the sky too, like the leaves. With everything back-lit by the sun, it was as if everything was edged with sparkling lights.

Then, I looked down.

To my right, I noticed I was passing a large house, and a lady was out on a balcony. Right away, I was embarrassed. It just would not do to be seen flying like I was. I tried to come down, using swimming motions as I do when I dream of flying, but I was not coming down at all!

I glanced at the woman at the house. What was she doing? She was climbing out to the edge of the balcony, dressed in serious flying gear: a white body suit and a white close-fitting flying hat, like the old-fashioned motorcycle helmets (a la Amelia Earheart!!). She leaned gracefully out into the air and soared off!

What was I worried about? I have laughed about my dream all day!
