odd dreams

[arethinn]

This morning, before I woke up at 8:30 having to go to the bathroom, I was having a dream about taking photographs in Scotland. Looking one direction from where I was standing, it was barely dawn and there were pools of fog and mist collected over a landscape that loooked like combination hills/moors and marsh. Looking the other way, the lighting was right for looking west when it's dawn (that is, still very dim), but out of the marsh were growing palm trees that were not only blowing in a wind, but also sliding up and down vertically somehow.

I have always wondered if my dreams of being in London (which always resemble one another, as though whatever place I was visiting, it was at least the same one) actually resemble the real thing, but somehow I doubt there are very many palm trees in Scotland...

You never know, I seem to have ended up in Vancouver with a palm tree in the back garden. ;)

In the yard, ok, but growing wild?

I have no idea how the climate of Scotland compares to Vancouver, either - the Pacific Northwest, like most of California, is a somewhat unique climate...

Um... Holy Crap?

The west coast of Scotland has its very own weather phenomenon that results in unusually high temperatures and flourishing Palm trees. One place affected by this is the small fishing village of Plockton. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/features/understanding/scotland_02.shtml)

West coast and you were looking west. Mayhaps Plockton is important, eh?

Kind of similar, which is interesting (the hills looked rather like these - http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/plockton/plockton/images/point.jpg - except for the marsh at the base) but looking west in the dream wasn't looking out on the sea, it was to more hills. I think I'm going to call it interesting coincidence that there are actually palm trees in Scotland..
