The woman at the top of the world - from David Stafford

[Marie Wintzer]

Just when my mailbox was on the verge of despair about not seeing a David Stafford for too long, I get this wonderful card. A very dreamy, soft and hazy picture, a beautiful woman and the entrance of a mysterious tunnel. It's a dream, for sure. And such a well written dream as well. Please take a moment to read it, you will see what I mean. David says the story is based on a real dream he had. He woke up in the middle of it, then went back to sleep and the dream resumed! Now how do you do that? I never had ANY dream resumed, ever, no matter how hard I tried. David, please give me the recipe for this. Only for very advanced dreamers, I imagine :-)) anyway.... he also added the following lines to it, which I liked a lot: "The distance between her rocky world and civilization seemed so far, the daunting path to it so treacherous and yet when we descended, the three in the dream and the she of the rocky townhouse, it turned out to be a comparatively short distance with shuttle buses waiting." It then occurred to him that the cave might stand for... the internet world? That is very possible, yes. Maybe David will soon have another dream, The Woman at the top of the world, part II, and we will know more about it? David, this is masterfully written and complements the picture to perfection, thank you for this piece of dream!

David's dream woman is actress is Yvette Mimieux. She was somewhat a film star in the 60's. Not certain of the date of her reign.  David, those continuing dreams always blow me away. Have you noticed they don't continue if they are frightening? Only the intriguing ones continue.

Exactly like Carrot Top...

Haha I don't know any of those two. Do they sound anything like Carrot Top?

Aw, it's just a dumb old dream, Marie. (use Andy Hardy voice here) [Oops, target audience too young for reference, please revise] (Use Efrem Zimbalist Jr. voice here).

He sure is a great writer!

Very soft and dreamy, indeed. But the tunnel looks exactly like one on the way to Athens by train , up in the mountain area around Brallos...I think that is where she is heading. But also, "nature isn't here to purify you, it could kill you if you are careless" Wise words!

Mysterious on the order of Svenja Wahl, but with more words (on the order of David Stafford). It's a fascinating story, this dream. The idea of a "well-appointed" cave gives one a chuckle, but if it stands for the internet--then someone must dream on, to give us more info.

Yes, that's a very nice way to put it, Carina, I see what you mean...

Sensitive and thoughtful, Woman at the top of the world is somehow so real, she took place in my heart...

I always admire people who can see the silver lining that comes with aging. Because it's scary stuff. Even more so for a hypochondriac. It seems to be a recurrent theme for us :-))

Oh, and the picture is really interesting, we can't tell for sure if it is photo or drawing, perfect for the confusing world of dreams.
