My muse on film (Patreon)

Lina Tsapova

Lately, I keep dreaming about people from my childhood — old friends, classmates, teachers, school days. And every time I wake up feeling strangely happy, no matter if it was a sweet dream or a nightmare. It feels comforting — like my mind is painting memories I’d long forgotten, reminding me of feelings I haven’t touched in years, and of people who played a big part in shaping who I am.

Even this morning, I woke up and wrote to a friend I hadn’t spoken to since before the war. The dream reminded me how much I love her, how deeply I miss her, and how important she still is to me.

Maybe it’s our mind’s way of reminding us who we used to be…have you felt that too?
