Dreams – The Ones That Happen When You Sleep

“Coach Cindy, where are you?” The other team coaches asked me in my dream.

“Oh no!” I was supposed to be at an early meeting and it is a 45-minute drive, when there is zero traffic and no detours. And I think they are changing up the construction scheduling at the highway entrance this weekend. Eek!

I go to the bathroom to get ready so I can fly out the door for the early Saturday morning meeting. My phone beeps. I look to see what type of notification. I check my IG messages. After reading them, I checked out an IG story.

The story announced it is Friday. What?!?!

I go back to bed for twenty minutes.

I’m still in panic mode. I restart my morning routine. Almost left, in my rush, without reading the daily chapter in the Bible. I stopped and record my reading of Luke 14, then rush out the door.

I make it to the gym across the valley. I set up the area for my first athlete of the day. After all of the equipment is set up, I decide to start this blog post while I wait.

I’m in the lobby waiting on my athlete as I type this. It is 10:15 and suddenly it hits me – 10:15 is her Tuesday time… Friday session isn’t until noon. Oh. My. Gosh.

Laughing at myself, I go back to the turf area and begin gathering all the equipment I had so carefully put together for my athlete.

I tell the front desk I will be back and laugh all the way to the car.

I’m now at a nearby coffee shop having a cappuccino, wondering what other mistakes lay ahead on this beautiful Friday.

Also…just because people tell you in a dream that you are late for a meeting doesn’t mean it translates true in the waking world.
