Hi xcalibur_djs, The time period was not contemporary. The boats were old-style. The men who hauled them did it as their regular job, using ropes as was done in old times. It's not my first dream when I "knew" that this was Crimea. I had them throughout my life, well before 2014. I felt that it might be past life memory, but our host tells us that they usually surface as memories and not in dreams. Also, I have a personal connection to Crimea. Though I never lived there, I spent 3 long Summers there as a child for a total of 8 months, so I definitely remember the vibe of the place. In all my dreams of Crimea, the action was always in the past before my summering there in the 70-s. Not related to the dream, but just a side note: only in 2014, when the current conflict started, I learned that Crimea belonged to Ukraine. As a child, I had no idea and thought it was Southern Russia. The language was Russian, the food was Russian (more austere than Ukrainian), the faces were Russian (more reserved than Ukrainian).
