Lost Sunglasses, Found Again

Well, it’s been a little while since I’ve shared here. Hello again, Dreamers! Life got busy (as it tends to do), but I’ve missed reading everyone’s posts and feeling connected in this lovely little dream space. Anyway, I wanted to jot this one down from last night before it faded.

Last night I dreamt I was at the grocery store, of all places. It wasn’t one I recognized, but I seemed to know where everything was. As I reached into my purse to grab my list, I noticed a pair of sunglasses tucked into one of the smaller pockets.

They were the ones I lost years ago. Big round frames with dark green lenses. I used to wear them all the time in my 40s—can you imagine, ha. I pulled them out and put them on, and instantly the store looked different. Softer. Brighter, but not in a harsh way. It just felt easier to be there, like the edges of everything had softened a bit.

I didn’t end up buying anything. Just wandered the aisles wearing my old sunglasses, feeling like I’d been given back a tiny piece of a younger version of myself.

When I woke up, I actually checked the drawer I always keep sunglasses in. Still gone. But it was a nice moment to revisit them, even just in a dream. #Nostalgia

Glad to be back, and looking forward to catching up on what you all have been dreaming lately!
