Because dreams are so important to me, I’ve written several posts about dreams (including here, here, here, here, here, here, and here) since I started dreaming this blog. When I look at those previous dreamy posts, I realize I wrote each one never dreaming we’d have the U.S. President we have today.
Last night, I woke up in the middle of the night from a very scary dream where morphing people and frightening creatures were staring me in the face and grasping me by the hand. I immediately posted on Facebook:
I was having a bad dream and just woke up to another bad dream.
My friend Marc Zegans soon replied with this dream of a comment:
Here‘s something a little sweeter to dream by.
Before I had those dreams, I spent yesterday looking at a possible dream house for me and my dreamy boyfriend Michael with our dream of a real estate agent, Jane C. Hoffmann.
While I was taking photos of Jane, she was also taking photos of me and Michael (which was probably a nightmare for him, since he hates to have his picture taken).
Today, we might make an offer on a dreamy house by the sea in Quincy, Massachusetts. If we don’t end up in that dream house, we’ll end up in another one.
Quincy, by the way, is called “The City of Presidents.” I wonder if John Adams, John Quincy Adams, or John Hancock — who were all born in Quincy — ever dreamed we’d have the kind of U.S. President we have today.
In four days, I’ll be turning 64 years old, an age nobody ever dreamed I’d reach when I was born in 1953 with a very unusual heart.
I shall now look to all the other dreamy photos I took yesterday for ideas about how to live and dream in the future:
I trust you know I have the intelligence and integrity to express my thanks to all who helped me create this dream of a post and to you — of course! — for your dream of a visit, here and now.
Good luck with your offer
Thanks for another dreamy and lucky comment.
Oh I hope you get your dream house Ann and Michael! Oh and Happy Birthday Ann! I didn’t know we were both February babies!
I hope you have a happy birthday, too, Diana!
nothing like getting your dream house and making your dream come true!
Nothing like another dream-come-true comment from you, Lisa!
I share your dream of living by the ocean, Ann. Good luck.
I assume we share several dreams. ❤
Yes, a collective nightmare! How exciting that you’re beginning to see waterfront houses you’d really like to live in!
How exciting to see you here, Sunny!
Looking forward to saying, “Beach party at Ann’s house!” Have you been to the Adams house(s) and his presidential library NPS sites in Quincy? So low key (and tiny). One of the houses (I think it’s where JA was born) is practically in a median, with traffic zipping by!
Looking forward to a dreamy brunch with you and Ray today!
I guess south shore won! Good luck with the offer! xo
South Shore hasn’t won yet! Time will tell ….
Wow!!! I love this post and I loved hearing the magnificent Ella Fitzgerald and Louie Armstrong (who, in my opinion, is the genius that originated everything we love about music!) Thanks, Ann!
Thanks to you and your genius blog!
Good luck on the house–the neighbourhood looks very coastal!
Thanks for the luck! My dream is to live on the coast.
Hope you find and settle in at your dream home soon!
Thanks, Emilie. I hope you are well! ❤
Dreaming of you in your dream house by the sea. Sounds like a dream of a song.
I must have been dreaming last year to miss so many comments on this post! Thanks for dreaming with me, Louise.
Its a dream of mine to live by the sea! So happy your dreams are coming true Ann 💛
Thanks for another dream of a comment, Val. ❤
Isn’t it interesting that we often describe things we want as “dreams” when our dreams can so often turn into nightmares? Dreams can be beyond our control, which can remind us how things in our waking life can also be beyond our control.
But they can also show us what matters most.
Your comments matter, Chris, always.
Thankfully I don’t have many bad dreams, I used to have these terrible dreams in December about forgetting about Christmas and weird dreams about night time looking like day time when I looked out my window
Thankfully I usually don’t miss comments and respond back a year later. Thanks for sharing, Joanne.
“We are such stuff as dreams are made on; and our little life is rounded with a sleep.”- William Shakespeare
“Like all dreamers, I mistook disenchantment for truth.”- Jean-Paul Sartre
Thanks for the dreamy quotes and images, Maria!
Yes, you are the master of your dreams. I hope your dream home is yours soon. Bad things do not make for good dreams, but they don’t deserve too much of our consideration. Things will settle down, I have confidence in the democratic process. No matter how lame it is at the moment.
I never dreamed I could miss so many comments and take so long to respond! Many thanks for yours.
Good luck with the house.
Thank you, Derrick!
