Moon Day Dreams

The night before last, I dreamt (for the very first time) that I could see my feet in a backbend. It was so exciting! Still makes me happy just to think of it. I could easily reach out and touch my feet. The light in the dream was very bright, and the colors supersaturated. I guess I’m accustomed to my most common dream asana (durvasana), which I’ve dreamt about doing since before I even started to practice yoga. It still pleases me, but is not nearly as exciting as the chakra bandhasana dream.
MS talks about dreams of dying and of flying. I’ve always just assumed everyone flew around in their dreams, and that they often got killed. Recently, though, when I said something about getting shot to death in a dream, I was surprised at how shocked and horrified people seemed at the notion.
