Curious dream last night. I was traveling by train and arrived in my destination city. I wasn't sure of the name but I think it was Danzig ( the old name for Gdansk, Poland). When I arrived, there was a big to do about a train going to another city that was leaving in a few minutes ( 12 noon) . I didn't even think about it and hopped on. I figured it was a place that I would go to see anyway while there so why not get to it. I didn't seem to be weighed down by any luggage. The infrastructure was old and rusty, not a modern experience, think gritty...no problem for me.
I get to the other city/ town and I quickly realize that I cannot get back till the next day...I set about figuring out how to get back to Danzig...there must be a way. There was no language barrier. There were the usual old guys sitting in groups watching time go by and they tried to help me but it was becoming clear that I would have to wait. ( the environment was still had the dark gritty old train station look/feel).
A quickly moving youngish man with bleached blonde hair breezed by with a big smile ( he seemed to be wearing red white and blue sporty clothes) I was told he would give me a ride back in his car....but I thought about it and no way was I going to go with some smiling stranger....
In the end, I hopped the next train and got a little closer to Danzig...another town, maybe there were other options there.
and then I woke up.
In summary...I was going to a destination, unencumbered. After arriving, it was not good enough to stay put I impulsively shot off in another direction...then I got stuck in the 2nd destination , delayed from returning. I kept trying to get back. I was offered an out....red white and blue (USA?) but I didn't trust it. In the end I decided to take another path to keep trying to get back to the original destination.
Might this have to do with my visa? Yesterday I found out that I was renewed for 4 years! I fought hard to get this visa.
hummmmm
