Not really a dream post

[gordonzola]

My friend Rachael was in my dreams all night last night. Thankfully, I never remember my dreams so you will be spared the details. But I hate that moment of waking up after seeing her in a happy dream, feeling restful and satisfied, then realizing that no, she’s still dead. I'm tired of rediscovering that I’ll never see her again.

Awww sweetie. Those dreams really suck. I'm so sorry. I have them about my mom all the time. It's an unfortunate part of the grieving process.

big kiss.

I still have dreams about my dad and he's been dead since 1985! I don't know, it's sad but kind of nice, especially if you're having happy dreams-- Without getting too new agey on you I really believe that those dreams can be comforting and significant.
okay that's all.

okay here comes a hippy moment but try looking at it on the level that you *did* just see her...dreams can be more real then reality sometimes. Look at how sweet that moment of waking was...it's a gift.

I'm with all these other hippies.

I know how crushing that moment of waking realization can be, but I've also learned to enjoy the visit. There have been times I've looked forward to nothing so much as sleep, just so I could hang out with the lost.

I found I generally remembered those dreams fairly well, however. Maybe it's harder if all you consciously get out of the deal is the loss upon waking.

Yeah, yeah, the PDX hippies are starting to infect my brain n' shit. But I will have to agree that seeing your friend in a happy dream means that everything is ok. Death is not the end.

seriously
