Can a very vivid dream count as my first ever March bass? (screw you covid and screw you cancer)

I don’t know what a 49 year old man should be dreaming about at night, but I woke up with a start at 3.30am this morning, right after I had released a rather anaemic looking bass which I had estimated at about 7lbs. I snapped awake with a very vivid image imprinted on my brain of watching that silver flank shimmer in the light as the fish mooched confidently away, and then a few seconds later I realised that it had all been a dream and I needed to go and do what middle aged men need to do during the night…………

I didn’t recognise the mark in my dreams, but it looked a bit like a Norwegian fjord crossed with a steeply shelving beach. I don’t think I know any bass marks which look anything like this, but there was also a really strong current running left to right in front of me. I do know that I should not be dreaming about specific lures because surely it can’t be right, but I am acutely aware that I was bumping the larger khaki coloured Savage Minnow along the bottom in the current - and this is what caught my bass from last night’s dream. Why the bass was so thin is beyond me, but perhaps somebody can read into my dream and tell me? I wish I could but I know I can’t claim what was a rather good dream as my first March bass!

And to help myself feel a bit better I wanted to say a big f-you to covid, plus an even bigger f-you to cancer. My amazing dad is going through hell at the moment with all sorts of cancer and post-op related stuff. We are lucky to have the NHS but I would sadly suggest that the system as a whole has been badly failing my dad recently. He’s a fighter though, and we are all hoping that he can recover to the point where he can get more chemo to slow the cancer down a bit. My eldest girl has covid and is keeping apart from us which breaks my heart because life should not have to be like this, but what it does mean is that we can’t risk me driving the four hours to be with my mum and at least try to see my dad for the one hour only that is allowed where he in hospital at the moment. We feel that we need to be completely clear of covid as a family before I can go and see my folks. Is my dreaming about that bass last night my subconscious cheering me up a bit? I haven’t played golf for years now, but what I would give to be playing 18 holes right now around Trevose with my dad in this glorious sunshine…………….
