Dreams at Sea
Nearly every woman who sailed aboard Tethys in the ocean, experienced profound dreams. Most were vivid memories, sometimes packed with emotion and always visually detailed. A few were powerfully insightful, born in the safe, isolated, rocking space that only a small boat at sea creates. There were some who thought the dreaming was because of the distance from land and land-based life or a result of interrupted sleep, unusual sleep patterns or seasickness. Others thought it was Tethys gift, her Goddess of Nurturing name or the recreation of a womb-like space on a boat at sea. I spent 367 days more than 100 miles from land aboard Tethys. In writing the book, I'm finding those dreams were unique, and the lines between awake and asleep are blurred. Do you dream differently on passages, at anchor, on land? Where do you dreams take you?
