This is a look at the wonderful dunes of Sleeping Bear Park in Northern Michigan. With a look at the nearby towns of Glen Arbor and the Hamlet of Glen Haven. Watch out for the wonderful sunset at the end!

This is going to sound crazy but I think I had a dream about this place even though I'd never heard of it or been there in my life. I'm not a religious person or someone who believes in spirits and astral projection and "out there" stuff, but I had this incredibly vivid dream a few years back of this beautiful place I'd never seen before, where I was extremely high up on a deeply sloped beach overlooking this gorgeous, deep blue water that had an incredible view that seemed to stretch on for miles. I felt really high up with a sharp slope downward toward the shore, and I noticed several sections as I walked where there was a lot of shrubbery in the sand, so it wasn't just pure sand on the beach. I even cut across the beach at one point about halfway up using a wooden sort of walkway like what's pictured in the video. I was with someone who was out of view and there was this sense of freedom, like we were on a really long vacation, or we had escaped the tedium of our "normal" lives. I asked the person I was with where we were, and he said, almost word for word, "Near one of the great lakes." I woke up thinking that the place looked too surreal and dream-like to be a real place, and surely I must have made it up. I live all the way on the other side of the country and have never been anywhere near the great lakes. And it looked like a fantasy landscape, so it had to have just been a dream. Well, I was curious, so I spent a good amount of time searching online, until I found this place, and it matches almost exactly. Go figure. A landscape with these sorts of features isn't on an alien planet. It really exists.

I had a dream about a different place that was accessed to by a car-boat, like an island city. It's rare that I get these types of dreams. This dream happened after I took the first shot of the Novovax vaccine.

@choudenman2 жыл бұрын
If you are talking about the giant sand dune into the lake it is called "Sleeping Bear Dunes Overlook" and is found at the far end of the Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive Loop...the wooden pier is a short walk from the parking lot. If you want to hike I am sure there are a few hiking trails that get here...but I am sorry I do not know the names.
