Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

I don鈥檛 know about you, but I just find it impossible to read while listening to music which has lyrics. I can do it if the music is instrumental only, but I get stressed between the words on the page and the words in my ears, and lose out on both.

Unlike my kids who seem to have earphones in while doing anything ... like work or study.

The other day I was trying to read Barack Obama鈥檚 new book, A Promised Land, and made the mistake of putting on Bruce Spingsteen鈥檚 new album, Letter to You. By the time I got through to the last song I gave up on the book. It was the words that got me.

One track - In My Dreams - is a beautiful song and I got distracted by remembering dreams I have had recently - especially since lockdown. I never usually remember dreams, but recently that has changed a bit, and I find it all a bit weird. Do my dreams really just replay the world as I would like it to be, or re-run things that have gone wrong in a subconscious move to put them right? I don鈥檛 know.

What I do know, though, is that dreams matter. Not just the line we keep hearing these days about 鈥渇ollow your dreams鈥� and all will be well. Experience tells us that not everything in life works out as we would like. Not even dreams as vague hopes or aspirations. But, dreams have a habit of getting under our skin and shaking us up a bit.

In the Bible dreams are really important. They are often the turning points in someone鈥檚 life, offering a vision of how the future might be, or warning that trouble might be on the way. They sometimes provoke a crisis which demands action once the dreamer has woken up. Or they provide a way of checking if my vision is ambitious enough.

In my dreams I hope to glimpse how I might change in the real world, loving better, living better, choosing better. Like Obama, I might be energised by a vision of a promised land.聽聽Or, like my kids, I might one day be able to do two things at once: listen聽and听谤别补诲.
