Well I have not been to Canada and I am 38 so that does not make you strange. Although invited a mess of times...Traveling to the border is a ways. Actually I have a lot of traveling on my agenda! I say you do it just to do it. Step out and do it. May your surgery go well. You are still a young spring chicken and have a huge life to live. Not even half over...You will be great.
And sweetstuff, have you been plagued by dreams like this for long? That is some deep stuff you dreamed. I know mine was, I noticed when I faced a lot of it it has cooled. May you have that same peace. Sorry you had that mess in your sleep. Better there than in real life. I hear that our mind releases all we cannot deal with in our sleep. Or maybe not stuff we cannot deal with, but stuff we need to process....What say you?
