Dreams of Letting Go
Jan. 25th, 2014 10:49 pmI had an unusual dream last night.
Typically, if I remember a dream, it's because it was scary or exceedingly whimsical. This dream was more, well, relaxing & soothing. I'm not used to that.
Last December, I lost my tablet somewhere in the mean streets of Manhattan. I was on my way to catch the bus back to DC and I discovered my backpack was open slightly and my tablet was missing, presumably lost in a gutter somewhere. The contents were encrypted and I activated the remote wipe so outside of the inconvenience of replacing it, there's no harm done but the cost of replacement.
My dream: Someone found a tablet in the street, reset it to factory settings and is now happily making use of it. Somehow, I was able to send a voice message via the tablet to its new owner.
My message was simple: I have a new tablet and while the old one was very nice, I've come to terms with its loss. I don't want or need it back. I hope it is as useful to them as it was to me, and that they enjoy it in good health for as long as they need.
That's when I woke up, feeling more peaceful than I have in a while. And I do hope my old tablet is being useful to someone right now.
