Pondering

I stopped working with the tools as an electrician seventeen years ago. Last night, I experienced a lengthy dream about working as an electrician.  This is strange because the last three times I woke remembering dreams, they were also themes about working with the tools.  In fact, I would estimate that somewhere around ninety percent of my recalled dreams over the last couple years have been dreams about working with the tools.

Prior to my spate of “working” dreams—for most of my adult life—I constantly entertained dreams about fish. 

The fish dreams are gone.

Now, I dream of working with the tools.

What explains this?
