Shores of the Ancients

Do you ever dream that you're flying? I had a dream recently where I was flying over the Aegean Sea and watching an ancient battle take place. The clouds were a purplish color with the faint glimmer of deep blue and specks of orange occasionally visible through the cloud cover. I tried to fly down lower, but there was an updraft that kept me for descending. I could faintly hear the battle cries of thousands of soldiers, but I was too far away to make out any ships. This piece is from that part of my dream.

Then, out of the sky above me, I started to hear "Learning to Fly" by Pink Floyd. I stopped worrying about the battle below me and lifted my eyes to focus on the path ahead of me. I think my subconscious was communicating with me and encouraging me to rise and shift course. I do love dreams and always embrace the experience they bestow upon me.
