Okay. This. is. so. strange. My jaw dropped when I heard this. I think yours might too.
I emailed Laurie about the dream that I had on Monday night (see blog post: I had a dream…). I told Laurie that she was in my dream and explained that in the dream she was at the ‘help desk’ pointing for me to go up the mountain and through the forest.
Here is her response to my email:
“On Monday night I was teaching a writing group and I gave my writing students the prompt: “When I went up the mountain….”
I’ve never given a writing prompt to my students before but I’d heard about that particular prompt earlier in the day so I decided to use it to see what it would evoke.
When I read your email I couldn’t believe that you’d had that dream about me telling you to go up the mountain on the exact same night that I’d given that mountain prompt. It’s definitely a Twilight Zone moment.”
Indeed.
