I had my first Camino dream!

Time of past OR future Camino
May 2024
We were starting our walk, as a group, inside a cathedral. We toured the basement area and then went to an upper level where we were to eat a vegetarian meal before starting out on the walk. Pretty basic as far as dreams go, but I was tickled when I woke up that in my dream I noticed yellow arrows and my backpack felt good on my back. :) Anyone want to share a dream they've had of the Camino?
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
I had one particularly vivid dream while I was on the camino - that I knew I was about to drown and I was completely calm and accepting of it. I'd much prefer to dream about walking;-)
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
Came home from Santiago last weekend. Most nights I’ve woken during the night feeling disoriented and thinking that I am still on the Camino. Also, lots of dreams about leaving my wallet in albergues and worrying about it being stolen. Very strange.
 
When I have trouble falling asleep, and before my anti-anxiety medication kicks in, I mentally place myself departing an albergue or hostal on Camino. Instead of counting sheep, per se, I count steps, observations, and vivid memories of Caminos past. It never fails. I am sound asleep within 10 minutes.

I call it going to my "Happy place."

Hope this helps,

Tom
