How interesting is that? I dreamed of Nora Roberts. This week my dreams have been extremely vivid and detailed, which means my imagination is running at full throttle and there’s writin’ to be done. 
So back to my dream of Nora… I’m a bit fuzzy on all the details, I was at what appeared to be something like an RWA conference, only it was held in a big warehouse. There were lots of women around and I think I knew a lot of them. Nora was up on a stage talking into a microphone and wearing a pair of really tight jeans and a blousy white shirt. After her speech I was milling around with the others when I made it to her side. She was handing out these very odd pink hats - a straw hat cross between a ten gallon hat and a fisherman style. I’m guessing you’re probably trying to picture it.
Anyway, she gave me one with a big smile (I felt like a special somebody at that point) and I put the hat on. Then for God knows what reason, she was talking about hiring bodyguards - not that I think she’d ever need them in real life. So what did I do? I volunteered to be one. 
What was I thinking? I was thinking of how cool it would be to travel around with Nora and absorb some of her success, and by association, become a successful writer myself.
Looking back now at the dream, it seems silly but there’s a message there somewhere from my subconscious. I think it’s telling me to keep on writing, that one day I might have Nora’s success (if only I wear the pink hat). Anyone out there want to hazard a guess on what you think the dream means?
