The Nude Run

 

Today I found a recurrence of my nude run of previous time.

As a young men. It reobably began when I heard of a health clinic in Switzerland which, having invented  muesli, also advocated "air baths," where residents would strip off their clothes and recline in the fresh air, with resulting health improvement.

Now, it occurred to me that you did not need to engage the considerable cost of air travel and expensive accommodation to benefit from air baths, all you needed was to strip off and lie in the garden, or, better still, go out for a jog in the Nude.

So, in my dream world I took to getting up early in the morning and going for a nude jog around the roads of Dublin, before any one would be awake. Alas, it was inevitable that milkmen or other busybodies, would find me running in the Nude and call the gardai to have me arrested. Also, as I ran around, people would start to wake up before I got home, and I would have considerable excitement trying to get safely home. Mr entirely innocent walk would be misenterpret as criminal activity.

Now, my present dream commenced with me driving somewhere in my car. I coceived the idea that I should protect my house-key from robbers by asking my garage manage to mind my key. Fair enough, but when I went to retrieve my key, the manager refused to give it back, on the basis that I still was not safe from prospective robbers. What could I do? I decided to drive back home and hope to access my home in some way. And now, in that incongruous dream way, here I was driving naked in my car, with all the hazards of people considering me a criminal for being naked.

What is the meaning of this dream? I would think it derived from my current intention to go on a holiday, and having, in consequence, the need to guard my passport and other vulnerable possessions, as well as my stroke experience where a doctor refused to give me back mey keys.
