Think of a dream from your childhood
You will know the one immediately. Try to capture it as vividly as possible. Take us there.
The Bridge
I recall a vivid dream from my childhood in which I and my school friends were soldiers in the American Civil War. A brutally intesnse dream, in which we had charged with, bayonets fixed, to capture a stone bridge. Many months later, I woke with a start from another dream. Moments before, I had been an old man, surrounded by others like me. There had been a stong sadness in the dream, as I and my comrades retrned to visit the bridge we had fought so hard to capture those many years before.

Awesome. Back in high school I had a print of Gettysburg on my wall that would come alive when the headlight shadows of a car flashed across it (if I was drunk enough ;) Not that I now condone that sort of behavior! Your bridge sounds like Burnside’s bridge at Sharpsburg.

Dang man! Right on! As a child I had a picture history book of the war, and that bridge was one of the little snippits included. I think part of why I recall the dream so vividly is that I also remember showing the picture in the book to my parents when I told them about the second dream.
