According to my wife, her life was saved by a Graco stroller....in a dream. She tends to have very strange dreams but this one takes the cake. Feel free to leave your comments or interpretation. Here's her account of the dream and do not forget to check out the Posted Dreams in my side bar.
I'm going to work....not in a car, not on a bus and not via the rails. I don't have those options. My only option is to go to work by using my 6-month old son's stroller. My job isn't local. I have to get on many highways, and I finish work late at night. I'm on the back of the stroller. I push a few times with my right leg (like you would a skate board) and some how jump onto the back of the stroller. Somewhere in the back of my Graco stroller, there are pegs or something that I can jump up onto. My purse and any work stuff I need to take with me are on the stroller seat. I'm on the stroller at night and many times I'm all alone. Other times I go under over paths. Under these bridges is where the homeless people and drug addicts tend to collect. I push quickly through these areas. Many thoughts go through my head while I'm on the stroller. I think to myself -- don't let any of the bums or drug addicts know your scared. If they smell fear they'll attack like dogs. I'm dressed in work clothes with a long wool dress coat, the back blowing behind me in the wind. I hear my mother's voice saying to me you take too many risks, you assume you're always safe. I hear my doctor telling me, when you're young you think you're invincible!! Miraculously my stroller has some get up and go.....real kick, so a couple of pushes take me a long way. The nights are the toughest because I worry about the drifters under the bridges and in the tunnels. The days aren't so bad, the main danger comes from the high volume of traffic on the highway....and little 'ol me on the shoulder--when there is a shoulder. At work, my day is uneventful. Chit chat at the coffee machine with co-workers and very typical days. At the end of the work day I'm on the road again.
