Bottom bunk, Ventosa albergue, La Rioja. I woke up startled. What a crazy dream. My Mum truly had come back from the dead; I heard the exact intonation of her voice and she was ‘standing there’ so vividly. In the 15 years since her death, I hadn’t before felt her presence like that. I can’t today recall any of the 'interaction' although I'd like to think some motherly wisdom was being imparted to guide me on my way.
Scientists don’t exactly know why we dream. Dreams, which feature strange or disturbing imagery, some experts believe represent metaphorical depictions of what’s going on in real-life experiences. Another thought is that dreaming helps us navigate times of intense emotion in our life. Sleep disruptions, sleep deprivation, stress, trauma, bereavement, anxiety, and regular aerobic exercise have all been linked to vivid dreaming.
Did you experience a ‘crazy’ dream on or about the Camino? Perhaps it:
Provoked strong and unexpected emotions
Related to something happening in your waking life
Made no sense whatsoever and still doesn’t today
Provided you with a solution you were looking for
Opened a window into your ‘future’ and today, with hindsight, the dream’s meaning is clear.
