i had a very weird dream last night….all of a sudden…the earth was turned and churned…i looked out and i could see the acropolis down the street …but there was no street…all was huge upheavals of land and buildings…the earth had rearranged itself into a mass of contortions….mountains, cities, boulders of earth pushed up….nothing was the same…everything changed….in the blink of an eye….an overwhelming sense of disbelief…..chaos……i tried calling my mother to see if she was alive….many had died…..it was like a massive earthquake, unlike any before….the whole earth quaked…not just a part of it….it was all rearranged…instead of a normal house and street in front of you…there was a huge mountain, and boulders, the earth had changed and rearranged itself…..
My interpretation of this dream :
Sometimes when we have “bad dreams” or nightmares…it can mean or symbolize other than what it appears as….i sometimes have premonition dreams too….this dream happened shortly before i invested in some land ….the land was very remote and surround by mountains…completely different from my present surroundings….i would lay in bed thinking about what it would be like to live there…the rattle snakes, tarantulas, scorpions, bears, cougars, high crime in surrounding cities & state….i also daydream A LOT about living a nomad life, and if i should live out of a van, or get a truck & camper….all these thoughts and visions constantly rolling around my head….so i think this dream was a combination of the possible land ownership in a faraway place (premonition) ….and a deep desire to live a nomadic life….THIS WAS A PREMONITION DREAM ……a few weeks after this dream i was investigating land opportunities, in which i actually started the process of buying a remote 10 acre parcel of land in the high dessert……but after a few sleepless nights worrying about how i would survive living there….and of all the possible things that could happen, and what a hardship it would be to live without what i am accustomed to (toilet, running water, shower, electricity, medical care…..) I TALKED MYSELF OUT OF IT !
So right now i appreciate more what i have, a comfortable roof over my head, a warm fireplace on cold winter days, always food, water, toilet, shower, and nearby hospital if i get very ill…..at my age, i want to survive comfortably, not struggle harder, and put myself in unpredictable dangers, (more than i have to). But i know my thinking will change again, as it is winter now, and i’m in the survival hunker down mode…..when i get more energized (springtime) i will think i’m practically invincible, and will figure out how i can be a nomad again…..
But maybe this dream was a premonition of the world wide Corona Virus ?????
IDK.
6-3-20
OR maybe it was a premonition of the current turbulence caused by the cop that killed George Floyd ????
i think what this dream actually means is that i must do some traveling….my scenery will be changing…and i will be off grid…and amazed at the beauty of my surroundings…leaving the familiar behind….sometimes “bad” or terrifying dreams are actually good signs…not what they seem to be….

I love the high desert 🙂 I think it is harder to make these decisions as we get comfortable with our surroundings. And there is much beauty where ever we may be. And if you add in a touch of the nomadic life with having a wonderful base camp, then maybe you can have it all 😊

I have never lived in the high desert….although i have lived in New Mexico…i wonder how it would affect someones breathing when they already are compromised having asthma ??? I do still plan on buying some property somewhere. The decision to become a nomad and live in a van also comes at a time in my life when i should be settled down by now and have less to worry about…..when i was younger i used to think how great it will be to finally be older and wiser & be settled……but the exact opposite is happening !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But YES to base camp !!!! Hoping it will have water too…

High desert in Southern Az at about 4500 ft above sea level and high desert in central Oregon about 3400 ft above sea level – no problem with my asthma at all. Loved it. The Northwest has long winters though and the question about water is real for the Southwest. In a perfect world I’d have a cabin in both and switch places during the winter 🙂 I hope, when I can get into my trailer, I can become nomadic though. For now, I just travel whenever I can

Well i’m thinking to buy some CHEAP land….the parcel i was in the process of buying a month ago was only $5,000 for 10 acres !!!!! Also i have not camped out since the early “70’s !!! (On top of the Sandia mountains in Albuquerque) I know nothing of camping & living out doors either….but i KNOW i need to absorb the vibes of remote nature to regenerate my body and soul….i CRAVE to smell pine trees and see the night sky without interference….my body/soul is dying in this present life i’m living….but i have to wait until October before i can get this van & go . Just in time before winter sets in !!!! Hopefully i will be in Arizona then ….camping out with fellow nomads at first, to learn the ropes…..Can you put a air purifier in your TT to help with the fumes ??? Is there a device that measures the toxicity of the air quality ??

Sounds like a good price on the land. Always depends on access. You’ll adapt quickly on the outdoors. Your body will love it. I have put an air purifier in the trailer- run it during the night and open the windows during the day. It will eventually get there. Searching for a vehicle to pull it now. I guess I’m the device on the air toxicity now – lol

I think the more remote the less access…that’s why its cheap….also no mineral rights…anyways….i think water would be the best resource to have….staying clean would be a big priority !!!! I would love to be near a good hot spring too !!! What kind of TT did you get ? I have thought about getting a truck & camper or TT….who knows what ill wind up with….it will all boil down to what i can afford….and the best option…i would love to have a nice shower/toilet built in….but they can be pricey, and the most i will have to spend will be around $10,000….and $5,000 for land..

Water would be for sure. I got a Forest River trailer. 120 sq ft living space. Full bathroom – tub and shower. Murphy bed. It’s nice 🙂
