descending to dream place

the first of the 3 photos from sorrento that i posted without any explanation once we were back 10 days or so ago is of the inaccessible stone staircase that leads down from modern sorrento to old, old sorrento...

this is another view of the same thing:

at the bottom of those stairs is a magical looking place that me & dinah could see but not get to... we really, really wanted to walk amongst it...

a few days after we returned i dreamt that we were walking around it, over the stone brdge over the stream that you can see in the picture below... very ordinary dream but very pleasing to get there, i've wanted to go back in my dreams since...

so this morning, after dinah had got up and reluctantly brought me a cup of tea i was dozing in and out of sleep, i had a dream (you know how your dreams are more vivid if you've woken up and then go back to sleep again) that i was in a group of people and we were walking down a stone, spiral staircase, somehow i knew that it was another way down to this place, we were dancing to a 3 rhythm...

i woke up at exactly the right moment for the tea to be the perfect temperature and once i'd arisen i programmed a beat in fruity loops to this same rhythm...

it's become about a minute long so far and i love it... entirely instrumental so far but i have a good feeling that a vocal part is just around the corner...
