Apparently, I was very tired last night. I turned out the light at 7:30 pm and got out of bed at 4:30 am. I seem to feel alright and don’t have any after affects of whatever bothered me yesterday.
I had a strange dream last night. It’s a recurring dream of me taking students on field trips to a wetland area, and area of hoodoos and then a canyon. Where Florida gets hoodoos and a canyon, I have no idea – it’s a dream and I can have hoodoos and canyons if I want them.
In this dream, I didn’t take students. I wanted to make sure everything was as I remembered it. My first stop was this beautiful little springs with all kinds of fern allies growing that I liked to show my students. It had Psilotum, Lycopodium, and Selaginella, all very primitive plants. I have an idea where I got this dream and it’s Fairchild Tropical Garden in Miami that has all these in their greenhouse.
Next I headed to the hoodoos. In previous dreams, we climbed the hoodoos to get to the canyon – a definite no no in reality. In this dream, who ever owned the land had sold it to a developer and everything was scraped clean and level. I was shocked, shocked that a developer would do that to a beautiful nature area. I suspect the hoodoo part of the dream came from Bryce Canyon National Park.
The canyon had been filled in. Needless to say, Florida doesn’t really have any canyons or gorges but I have seen a few in my travels.
At least I can explain where I get the images of my dreams but not the reasons for my dreams.
