It’s bordering on the ridiculous. Two dreams last night and both like feature films. If I write them down, I could sell them as novels.

One I was in a domestic violence situation. The fear felt real, the husband (whom I’ve never seen before in my life but had a striking resemblance to my father in his younger years) and I was having to lock myself in my room with a baseball bat. Others did not help when I told them how conniving he was. However through the dream, I didn’t feel powerless. It felt like I just had to deal with him myself. And he was going to get it of course.

Second dream way more fantastic. I was living in a hotel (as we did when we were young), and a wall cracked to reveal a secret room – a huge giant room that was left in the 1950s. It felt people just had picked up and left. A time warp. They must have enclosed the room and forgotten about it. The thing is, I went through that hole in the wall, and it became 1950.

The room came alive, women dressed in the most fabulous dresses, they stopped gossiping and looked over to me. I walked past a classroom and thought that our hotel must have been a school in the 50s and out to a curved window (like those they had back then) which I thought was a door, opened it and realised it’s not a door.

I find the ornate iron white door and it leads out to the most spectacular beautiful view of Paris in the 1950s on a rooftop. Around me I can see billboards and it’s a low rooftop. We seem to be surrounded by the Seine.

There, at a bare low table that juts out of the rooftop edge, is another lady enjoying the view. I chit chat and just take in the view. I twirl around. I’m deliriously happy. I can’t believe it. Everything is beautiful. It’s so colourful. Its different to what I have ever seen before. There’s noise and music coming from somewhere. The city is alive. It’s from another world.

I tell the lady I can’t believe I’ve forgotten the camera so I turn back to go back to my time. I turn away and tell out, “I’ll be back!”

I wake up happier having seen a snippet of time long forgotten. I had time warped in my dream. 🤣
