| |
| It’s 5:30 Friday evening. I’ve just put in a full 8 hours at work, commuted for another hour, the home frig is all but empty and I still have to make dinner for my family. So I dash into my familiar home town supermarket, who at this point shall remain nameless – but the name does starts with A - thinking I’d quickly pick up the makings for tonight’s dinner and do my full week’s shopping tomorrow when I have more time to think about it. After throwing the needed items into my basket I headed for the familiar check out lines. There I came to an abrupt halt as I tried to make some sense of what I was looking at.

| I had a dream the other night. Dream nothing, it was a nightmare, if you must know the truth. Normally I don't put too much stock in dreams — or — nightmares, as the case may be, but this was different.My grandmother believed in dreams. The most important part of her night were the dreams that visited her. She usually indulged in several dreams during any given night.Upon rising in the morning, and before her breakfast coffee, grandmother always checked her "dream book" for the interpretation of her latest dream.The dream book was alphabetized, enabling her to look up the meaning of her dream.
