Dream learning

Strange dreamin last night.……I find myself in an indoor sport arena, where I go through the karate kata(form) ‘Bassai-dai’, I’m dressed casual but wearing rollerblades!? Practicing with the blades turn out to be challenging but get a good feel at it(I’ve never ever tried rollerblading, but did quite a lot of rollerskating when young)...Dream continue, I notice a young “Russian” woman formally dressed in a Karate Gi(practice uniform) doing the Kata ‘Heian-yondan’ and then going through some bunkai(applications) of the moves with two other Russian guys. Standing by watching this I get the idea(in the dream) that there are “hidden” elbow strikes in that Kata? …For sure there ar elbow strikes in that Kata but they are quite obvious. Anyway, when I got up this morning I went through the Kata with “elbows” on my mind and “found” some more elbow techniques in it…Dreams are quite funny. Back when I practiced Karate I often had dreams where I was practicing strikes, kicks, Kata sequences and sparring(without rollerblades and Russians) but never had such dreams connected to my CMA’s practice....Might be back to the Dojo this night, maybe Russian Lady sensei will be around
