Breathtaking Dream

Sometimes I wonder how the mind and dreams really work. I had a dream last night that made me question exactly the nature of how I dream sometimes.

I was outside in the middle of a street in the dark of night with some others. There were little shops around, but high above, the night sky was beautiful and clear. Someone mentioned that it was the month that the moon was closer to Earth than normally, and sure enough the moon moved by slowly on its celestial precession. But then, I saw two more large heavenly bodies. One, I thought was Jupiter, but someone told me that's not what it was. It was perfectly spherical with a blue a bluish tint on its dark surface and alongside it were two more smaller spheres of the same type. Around all three spheres, tiny rocky satellites followed...about two dozen in all. They traveled slowly and moved across the sky behind the background of the night.

I fell to my knees in awe at just exactly how beautiful and amazing it looked. I almost cried in my dream at how it looked. I'd never seen anything like it before.

And now that I'm awake, I have a beautiful memory of something my mind created. I can see it perfectly and it still gives me chills with how beautiful it was. How could my mind come up with something that was essentially so artful and amazing that it would take my breath away from its beauty?

I don't understand how it works or how that dream affected me so, but I do know that I carry with me something special that seems just as real as any memory I have.
