Last night, Maria woke me up and said she had a dream about Lulu, the donkey was frightened and she was comforting here, and then she fell back asleep. Maria often has fragmented and mystical dreams, they sometimes show up in her art.

We got up several hours later and I showered, and then got dressed. Maria had shouted that she was going out to check on the animals, she always talks to the donkeys and comforts them. I went out a few minutes later and no one was around, not even the dogs. So I went out and saw everyone was in the back pasture, and then I saw Maria comforting Lulu.

I had one of those mind-freeze moments, a sense of deja vu, I had seen or heard of this before, and then I remembered Maria’s dream, and I had the strangest sensation that I was seeing this dream, it had somehow been internalized by me.

I had my infrared camera with the Petzval 58 lens, so I took the photo. I stood up there on the hill for the longest time, and then Maria called the the dogs and came walking up the hill to me. She only vaguely recalled the dream.

The mind can go all sorts of places, and I can say honestly, I have no idea if this was strange or some intuitive thing, or an actualization of a dream. Maybe just pure coincidence, I did get a chill up my spine when I saw the photo in the computer. The infrared often sees things the naked eye can’t see.
