LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE

March 2, 2012

Dear Dreamers:
I’m in a big old house, kind of run down but livable, lots of rooms with worn wood flooring and big dirty windows.  There is a pretty large group of people that I believe are together for a class, perhaps an acting class.  The house is owned by a woman in her 50’s or 60’s, charming, bright, good looking...built like a former dancer.  I see her as a little flaky, sort of an aging Holly-Go-Litely.  Cats are everywhere and cat hairs cover every piece of furniture.  I find a Queen-Anne type chair with what I believe is the least amount of cat hairs on it, and sit.  Soon I discover that whenever I laugh, the chair rises and I float, just like in Mary Poppins with Ed Wynn.  Everyone loved it as I floated from room to room, having fun and laughing a lot. At some point, I realized a few people had left the class, so I took the chair and met up with them at the nearby bar where we continued laughing and floating.
****
What’s great about this dream is that today I’m not feeling so hot...stomach flu I think.  So this dream...each time I read it, it makes me smile.  How nice to float above the nitty-gritty by just laughing and having fun.  How wonderful to recognize that attitude is so crucial if we’re to rise above our problems.  I’m too tired today to explore any deeper meanings this dream may hold, and am content with this relatively simplistic message.   
  
What do you think?
‘Til next time...
Happy dreams!
