I love it when my relatives visit me in my dreams. Last night it was Brandon. The back story isn't very interesting, because it didn't really make a lot of sense. We were at a public swimming pool and I guess I can relate the setting and the feeling of being there with Brandon to the night that we all went to the pool when Glen and I stayed at Brandon and Angela's in June. The powerful part of the dream was the feeling I had of hugging Brandon and just being able to touch him, which is what I miss when I only get to talk to my sons on the phone. It is so surprising to wake up from a lucid dream like this one and actually feel a sense of satisfaction, as if I really did hug Brandon.
Devin and Adrienne appear as main characters in my dreams, too. The last time Devin visited me, he was a child and we were living on the farm. These are "yearning" type dreams, I always wake with a bit of sadness.
Dreams of Adrienne have a decidedly "current" theme, very much like her appearances in our lives now, here for a visit and gone, or we are on a mission to accomplish something.
I'm not "into" dreams as much as I used to be, I share this blog only because Brandon's visit is still so fresh in my mind and I wanted to capture the feeling from it. I no longer have nightmares like I used to either. It's too freaky to share a nightmare about a loved one...and the fact that I rarely have them or remember them anymore is fine with me.
You started something with your Chocolate dream, Devin!
Awww I love this and know exactly what you mean when you want to keep the happy feeling as long as you can. I often dream that going to visit Brandon and Devin is just a few hours drive away and I always wonder in those dreams why we don't do it more often!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the hug Mom. I was going to make some joke about wetting the bed last night but I didn't think It could come out as funny as it should.
ReplyDeleteI keep having recurring dreams that me and Dylan live in the farm house, or are staying there temporarily, and we are always fixing or cleaning it. And usually you and dad either come visit or else you also live there with us for some reason; Brandon and Adrienne are often there as well. I'm sure you going to think that it means I secretly want to move back to Kansas!
