So you're near the breathtakingly magnificent Lake Superior Provincial Park then Cluin? You are SO lucky ....

Clinton, about dreams - I know you're not much into the esoteric side of life, but did you know that Sir Frederick Banting "discovered" the basis for insulin in a dream? Or that Dr. James Watson discovered the double-helix structure of DNA in a dream?   

Another example - Elias Howe, who'd been stymied in his efforts to design a sewing machine for years, had a dream one night that he'd been captured by savages. They were circling around him, pointing spears at him when he noticed that at the tip of each spear was a hole. When he awoke he had the answer to his problem - put the hole near the tip of the needle! And so the sewing machine was invented.

Inspiration and artistic creativity are so often the products of dreams. Dreams are a vehicle into the subconscious/unconscious aspects of our minds, where the keys to understanding and solving life's mysteries are hidden. I never underestimate their importance.
