I'm high in the air above a strangely beautiful and slightly ominous landscape. The wind is blowing fiercely, whipping about a line of huge trees in shades of russet, grey and green. It's a little while before I decide the trees are not, in fact, clouds. I'm confused by this for a little while. When I realize fully that it's trees I'm looking at, the dream switches and I'm walking on the ground, approaching the line of trees.

The air is startlingly clear and the sun is shining in a deep penetrating way. The noises of country life surround me; I can hear bees buzzing, a cow is moving around somewhere close by and I can hear it's bell tinkling softly, a low moo everyonce in awhile. As I walk along, I wonder if I could stand hearing these noises all the time. They seem overwhelming in their simplicity.

Some unknown and possibly invisible companion is walking along with me. We come to the line of trees and the path takes us into the shade cast by their tall upright branches. I hear birds flitting around and calling up at the treetops. My unknown companion tells me silently that we are in Tuscany. As we walked, I muse a little bit on the similarity of Tuscan and Estruscan. Maybe they're connected somehow? I look up into the trees, watching the branches waving wildly still with the wind, only we no longer can feel the wind because the trees are sheltering us. I wonder where the russet trees went, then I see they form a line on the outside of the greener trees. Sometimes I can see russet branches waving wildly behind the green trees. My companion again tells me silently that the trees are poplar trees. I disagree, I think they are tall yews. There is an aura of calm debate, we are both enjoying the day, the beauty of the Italian landscape. People are working quietly all along the path. Harmony reigns.

    I turn into a street that seems familiar and suddenly I’m lucid. I feel great joy and wonder what I should do, where I should go. I think of and discard options quickly while I’m driving around the familiar neighborhood. Seattle seems like a possibility, but the proximity to water scares me.

    I settle on finding Keith W. I go looking for a phone through a shopping district. I’m no longer in a car and I wander past several high end shops. There’s a computer kiosk at the end of the street and I think it’s a good idea to look Keith up on the internet. I can’t figure out the procedure to use the computers, but someone offers me their last minutes of connection. The computer is in Spanish, but the keyboard seems the same. I type out Keith W.

    Switch and I’m inside a printing store using their phone. I call information and ask for Keith W. She gives me a number that I write on a slip of paper. The operator starts spewing a bunch of other information that confuses me. I slow her down to clarify; what she’s given me is a mailing address and a phone number. I notice the phone number is mine, I wonder if I could actually reach Keith W with my own phone number in a dream. Maybe there is something significant about dream area codes.

    Additional Comments:

    I label this a recurring dream, because over the years I have dreamt about Keith W., a childhood classmate. The dreams with him in them usually seem significant in some way that I can't exactly explain.

    I woke up (in the dream) rather late. I fiddled around with medication for my husband who has the flu in waking life, I tore open a cough strip and he went to put the wrapper in his mouth. Sleepily I pushed that away and showed him the little tiny red strip he was supposed to ingest.

    I felt a little sick myself and wondered how I was going to be able to work, but I moved to the bathroom to begin the process of getting ready for the day. The bathroom was a mess, my daughter Rae's cape and scissors were on the toilet seat, little tiny hair clippings scattered on the floor. With growing alarm, I began to notice tiny droplets of blood everywhere, EVERYWHERE. Even though I was in the bathroom, I seemed to knock on the door because Rae was inside. She answered me from behind a closed door. I asked her if she was alright, and what the hell was all that blood from? She told me (from behind the closed door), that she was alright and she'd tell me about it when she came out. I stood, looking around at the blood, growing ever more frantic and upset inside. I tried to calm myself, but I wasn't being very successful.

    Rae came out then (of where I don't know...she and I were both *in* the bathroom, but she had been hidden before....behind a closed door). She had long dark hair worn in the way I used to wear mine when I was a young girl. She looked okay, I couldn't see any blood anywhere. I said, "What happened in here?" Rae started talking a mile a minute, all the while looking into the mirror and fixing her hair. The story was about her shears and an accident and I kept having a vision of the inside of her arm. She told me that she was alright, but the words were all blurring in my ears, I could barely understand what she was saying. I looked around and saw there was blood splashed on some laundry hanging on the shower curtain pole. There were some droplets of blood up on the ceiling. I shook my head, not understanding. What possible kind of accident could put blood on the ceiling?

    I covered my mouth with my hand, "Ohh...Rae."
