When I woke up this morning, I was in a half-awake state longer than usual. For me, this is a state that is partly full of dream content, and partly based on conscious thought.
While in this state, I recalled that there are some people who like to create silly, unexpected situations involving bystanders. My dreaming imagination supposed that it would be funny for those people to have a group use a type of public place for business meetings. (It's an informal place and business meetings are not expected there.) My conscious mind supposed that it might be worth my while to forward this suggestion to the sly schemers. As I became fully awake I forgot all about the matter.
Later in the day, I visited the type of public place that had been in my dream. I got out my notebook and wrote out everything I could think of about the emotional issues that are interfering with my current business success. I also wrote out the specific marketing questions that have stumped me for some time. I then put my pen down and stared off a bit.
As soon as I put my pen down, literally within seconds, a stranger struck up a conversation. It turns out that he is a retired successful businessman with relevant experience. He made a suggestion about a marketing technique I hadn't thought about for a long time, that would be the perfect solution to my current business conundrum. After we chatted a bit more, he joked that I should have all my business meetings at that location. He gave me his phone number, encouraged me to follow up with him, then left the building.
A little bit later I remembered my dream, and wondered if I had just had some kind of intuitive or precognitive experience; or perhaps, some greater force had inspired both of us to show up just in time for our unexpected business meeting.
