I used to go for hypnosis, @mrnightmare.net, because I was afraid of flying in an airplane and I wanted to get over that. The hypnotist used to tell me to imagine a place that I really liked, somewhere I felt comfortable, peaceful. Then he would begin making suggestions that would help me to overcome my fear. That's what this story made me think of. When I came out of the session, I always felt peaceful.
This is a nice story. I loved the dog in the picture :)
I think most of us are, we want to escape for some time so we can think very well. It's not just we wanted to feel relax but also to be happy even through our imagination. Thank you, I love that dog as well even though it's not my own image. lol
