I'm pretty sure I've dreamt about tea before. :roll: No clue as to what actually happened, though...

Bagged green tea this morning. My Adagio samples come in 2 days!

I've had a few about visiting puerh plantations in Yunnan then to go to the market and buy hundreds of tongs of cakes. Someday. . . .

This means dreaming during sleep? :wink:
I dreamed of tea and tea ware, especially if I think of them a lot before sleep :P

But hey how do you know you are not in a dream NOW tea chatting? You wouldn't know you are in a dream until you wake up :P

huang shan mao feng in my cup now, or maybe one hour later I wake up and realize I've just dreamt of having huang shan mao feng :lol:

Can't say as I've ever dreamt of tea or teaware.

In my cup this afternoon, the last of my organic Wuyi from Rishi. It's rather bland.

No dreams here. Just the reality of a cup of Gunpowder tea as I type this.

Can't recall a single dream with a tea theme.

Drank two great mugs of sencha Maki-Crab this morning.

Just kidding with the crab bit. :D Also, the first sentence has a rather musical quality that was unintentional.

I don't recall ever dreaming about tea or wares yet, except for daydreams of course... lots of those. I think in order to qualify for dreaming, one has to actually sleep long enough to get in to the REM phase, and I haven't been meeting that criteria very often lately. Was at the hospital yesterday most of the day, came home in the evening and got 28 phone calls between 5pm and 2am when I finally returned to the hospital, staying til about 5am. When I finally got to bed this morning, I didn't dream, didn't muss the covers, didn't turn over, and didn't get a single phone call. Whew.

In my cup.... Adagio's Pouchong brewed up in my tiny gaiwan... 4th or 5th infusion so far, still as good as the first. Mmmm. And now, back to the horsepistol once again. Have a great TeaDay.

I haven't dreamt specifically about tea or teaware. I have however, had dreams that related to tea. Like I would have a dream where I'm having a conversation with a friend, and we're drinking tea.

Twilight Zone ... yesterday, I would have said "no" which is actually kind of strange since I am always thinking about my morning tea at night when it is too late to have another tea.

Then I typed up this topic last night, went to bed, and dreamed about celadon teaware, and not only once, but woke up and fell back asleep and dreamed about tea and teaware. Really bizzare. :shock:

So, started the TeaDay with a nice session of O-Cha Fukamushi Supreme. Really good. Sweetie seemed to agree, Gandalf was a nuetral observer.

Moved on to matcha. Then Adagio Golden Monkey. Looks like a great TeaDay.

Sure, have dreamed about hard-to-find teas and teaware, probably because it becomes a minor preoccupation until I either find what I'm looking for or come to the conclusion that it's just not gonna happen anytime soon.

Like JP, its Gunpowder Time!

I don't remember any dreams about tea or teaware. But who knows, if I did it was probably so common a thing I didn't make note of it when I woke up.

Boazhong in my cup again this afternoon.
