Dreams can be a lot of things. Joyful ‘nonsense’ unrelated to daily reality – like the one about practising new dance steps with an elephant…when I’m really not the dancing type (or personally know any elephants). They may be an anxious reprise of the day’s hazards – I might mention the recurring nightmare about a Business Meeting gone terribly wrong! Some dreams even seem to plan themselves out in detail ahead of the dreaming, thrillers with every clue in place from the beginning, in retrospect. They are enough to make you wonder what happens when we’re asleep.
