Dreams are very complex and beyond our understanding. I do think sometimes real life events manifest in the form of dreams and that includes people close to us appearing in them.
Do you have any pre-travel rituals before going to the airport?
Mine are very basic. Always pack the night before like most people. But when you are walking out the door and you know you may have left something, I decide to double check my passport, credit card and any tickets I need. Nothing else really matters.
I remember going on a big trip with a now ex wife and saying the same thing to here over and over before the trip, passport and credit card, don't sweat the rest. She forgets her passport, then tries to blame me for rushing her at the end.
What is your favorite memory from school.
