I met him unexpectedly one night in a dream. He’d invaded my head without asking, but I quickly forgave his lack of manners. You need fun, he said, not a dreary sleep, as he stood amidst the mishmash of my worries: children, work, bills. We chatted and laughed, and then we danced and I was Ginger to his Fred. Waking up the next day, I felt so much better than I had for ages. Later, a frail old man I didn’t know said hello. You can be who you want in dreams, he winked.

Dreams can indeed bring joy and the mention of Ginger and Fred brought joy to my own heart. I'm so lucky to have been entertained by such a brilliant partnership.
