Nightmares and souvenirs
I rarely dream. Well ... I probably do dream, but I rarely remember if I do. So I was quite surprised Tuesday morning when I woke up in a panic.
I'm here in the beautiful Swiss mountain resort of Davos to produce a panel at the World Economic Forum that will later air on CNN. The program is called "CNN Connects: Our Networked World," and is hosted by Becky Anderson. A great deal of time and effort has gone into preparing the panel, which is bringing together some of the top computer and Internet executives in the world. So back to my dream: I arrived back home in Atlanta and realized I had forgotten to buy gifts for my husband and two young children. I was devastated. My week in Davos had simply flown by and I never had a moment -- not one single moment -- to shop for gifts. And then ... in my dream ... I suddenly received an e-mail from my boss. It went like this: "Lisa, WHERE ARE YOU? We're starting rehearsals now and the show airs tomorrow, we need you here now!" As the message sunk in, I realized I had left Davos five days too early! And that's when I woke up, relieved to find myself still in cold and snowy Switzerland. Oh, and in case you're wondering ... I stopped by a small souvenir shop Tuesday afternoon! -- From Lisa Cohen, Supervising Producer
