Boscombe Down – Rocks – Café -Airport Dream 08-01-2024

This dream was between 2 and 4 AM.

I am with my wife we are walking up a grassy ridge overlooking a wooded slope on one side and a grassy slope the other. We are at/on explicitly Boscombe Down. The weather is warm and sunny. She is behind me and she has her right hand holding the belt of my trousers in the middle of my back. I am helping her with the incline. There is a sense of slight danger on the ridge which she feels more than me. We summit and then descend a path to a visitor centre. As we pass through the courtyard a man who works for the National Trust asks us where we are from.

I say that we are currently from France but in reality, I am from all sorts of different places starting with, in this lifetime, Cardiff. I then reel off the list of places I have lived including Bristle {with west country accent}, The Isa, Kabwe and Gravesend. He thanks us and we pass through heading to a village.

As we walk down hill we pass a wooded cliff face. From this rocks start to fall onto the bitumen road. They fall all around us but none of them hit us. We are unafraid.

We then get into town / village and there is a large café / coffee shop. We take a seat and the server comes over. We order half a large Americano each. She brings them to us and we drink them.

We notice that the café is actually a part of an airport.  We hear an announcement that our flight is boarding through gate D. We know that this is a small airport with only four gates. We head towards an up escalator and get on it.
