The Big Dictionary of Dreams by Martha Clarke
You ever wake up with a feeling still clinging to you? The edges of a dream, clear as day one second and gone the next, leaving you with a sense of wonder, or maybe a little unease. You know there was something important in there, a message just for you, but trying to grasp it is like trying to hold onto smoke. Your mind runs in circles all day, trying to piece together the images—a long road, a key, a storm on the horizon. You get the sense your own mind is trying to tell you something, if only you knew how to speak its language.
