I wish I could go back to my dream world, so much more interesting then my real world

Hmm. Not my choice given many of my dreams now are connected to the work from which I retired three years ago! :-)

What's strange is the with one exception, I don't recall any dreams about work when in work, but since I retired I've had all manner of them, and all in very surreal versions of the real place!

The exception? I looked after a laboratory centred on a very large, deep tank of water. In my dream, I returned from holiday to find the lab had been turned into a set of open-plan offices during my absence, with the tank converted from lab equipment to ornamental pond complete with water-lilies and fountain. The only thing was... I had this dream while actually on holiday!

Except when most of your dreams are nightmares

Don’t get lost
