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!

Thanks for that lovely post, Marie. I'm not sure how a dream resumes but it may have something to do with the natural somnambulance that comes with an aging prostate. The silver lining.
