Any way early this morning, I had a strange vivid dream; I start off driving along a road, with 'someone' with me, ex wife perhaps, and then the road splits, I take the left lane and it goes from tarmac into dirt, then into mud, then into a muddy lane.
Now it is proper off road: I want to get back onto a better surface and cross a deep rutted track full of water to get there - and get stuck in deep muddy water. The sun is out, and I get out of the car.
Next I find myself at the end of lane, with a gate, it is green all about, and sunny. I am lost still and on my own now.
I see a set of rambling houses ahead, all in one group and built together, all a bit different. Say 5-10 all in a row, huddling next to the shore.
In front is a beautiful deep blue lake, off in the middle distance is an island, and further on the far shore, steep and green with grass, rolling away into the distance.
Then...
I am inside, sat with a woman in a blue top, with dark hair and pale skin. In front of us is a big picture window and the buildings overhang the lake.
We can see people swimming in the lake, and we are chatting easily. Then another blond woman comes in, she tells me about the place, it is sort of like a commune community, not religious or anything, just self sufficient folk who don't want the rat race misery.
The blond woman walks me out through the gardens past the end of the community to the gate, I can see the vegetable gardens sloping off down to the lake side, the hedge is on my right. I am told I would be very welcome to come and stay here, join the community, and use my skills to earn my way as everyone else does. And swim in the lake as often as I want. She is close to me and smiles..
That, sadly was the end of my vivid dream. I know somehow, it is somewhere in Dorset, maybe not real, but definitely somewhere I would love to live...
