What a coincidence! A couple of nights ago I had a dream in which I was descending a long stairway down to a beach from the cliffs above (something I've done often enough, in waking life) and I overheard someone explaining the meaning of the song "Wabash Cannonball" to a third party. Just when I woke up, I understood the TRUE meaning of the song. But now I don't, any more. And no, I haven't listened to the song in years, but I once learned to plink it on the gee-tar, a bunch of years ago.
Even more weirdly, a couple of days later (yesterday) I happened to read an article about shoreline erosion attacking the cliffs above the water in Isla Vista, California, where there are lots of stairways down to the sand, and where I used to live. This tells you everything you need to know about where dreams come from.
