if i was dreaming right now, i think i would be dreaming that i was standing at the edge of a wooded precipiece in my rural childhood backyard, looking down at all the old bathtubs and kitchen appliances that others had discarded in the depressions left by old coal mines underneath.

and when i woke from that dream, i would realize, my cheeks a bit reddened, that it must mean "well, it looks like you might be on the way to something new."

or maybe that's just my mother's observation.
