omg, I thought I was the only one who had dreams like that! Mine is always about riding horses. Then he was younger. I used to ride from sun up to sundown. Often bareback. In my dreams I’m doing it again. When I wake up, I think God I wish I could ride a horse again… And then I roll over and the cramping if my body starts and I lift myself gingerly out of bed. I still do a hell of a lot for the age I am in the condition I am in. But I’m so slow now…
