in a dream of far away

[flaviomatani]

Getting those dreams again in which I never came to the UK but instead went to study (and stayed) in some town in Northern Italy. I'm never actually there in the dreams -I'm always somewhere else (normally Caracas) and something prevents me from going back -and my guitars, my computers and my books, as well as my working life, are all back there, so it is almost a nightmare although not quite. But I could describe in detail my room in the house I share there (in the dream) with another musician, the little balcony, the battered garden set in it, the plants, the old music stand I have (don't know where that comes from, never had a wooden music stand). Like peeking into a world that could have been, or into that multi-dimensional shift-space of possible lives that never were....

The only person I know who studied in Northern Italy lives in London ;-)

I'm from Venezuela -kind of the opposite direction. I do have a couple of relatives in San Remo and Imperia (and I've visited them but not for many years), but my Italian family are from the Abbruzzo region, on the Eastern coast many hundreds of miles south...
