Please post more dreams-they're awesome. The analysis is unparalleled.
I rarely step into someone’s dream to offer anything unless they specifically ask for help in understanding.
Last night however- I was “called up” from the minor leagues unexpectedly and I found myself in uniform as the lead-off-batter for the San Diego Padres. It was my very first appearance at a Major league game and I took my place in the batter’s box with almost no fanfare, as a complete unknown.
I swung on the very first pitch and for a second o stood there and watched the ball sail toward the wall at center field, thinking I had hit it out of the park— but then the centerfielder stop his backwards retreat and squared up under it for the catch.
But he muffed it and it squibbed off the top of his glove and rolled to the base of the wall. When I saw this I shook myself loose from my frozen stance and took off running for first base and for an instant rounded for second base, but held up as the fielder quickly picked up the ball and threw the cut off into second.
I was able to steal second on a pass ball that the catcher missed, and then advance to third base on a sacrifice fly. Then a base hit let me scamper to home plate and just like that I had scored on my first at bat— though by rights I would have been and should have been out, had the fielder made the routine catch. Back on the dugout, I sat on the bench and thought about how fortunate I was.
