Dreams

I had a dream last thursday night, and I wrote down on my phone what happened.

I was with either one or two family members when I walked into my little sister's school.
It was open house and the kids of the elementary school had an opportunity to show everyone what they had done in school.
My sister's school, you can see
a tiny bit of the right blue door
There are multiple entrances and we used the blue door on the right-side of the main entrance. The door takes you to a small hall. And after that you only have to push the swing door before you are inside.

In front of the next wall, right before the left-turn to the other side of the building were standing three people. The middle one was my uncle who passed away five years ago. I don't know who the other two were. They weren't important to me, it's like they didn't have faces.

I could feel that I was dreaming and I made a mental note to remember it so I was able to write it down. I knew that if I didn't, I would remember seeing him in my dream and I wouldn't know what had happened. Forget what was going on in my dream has happened before and it is devastating because I miss him so much.

I went up to the three waiting people and started with greeting the left one before moving on to my uncle. I greeted him the same way as I did with the first person, three kisses on the cheek. Then I wrapped my arms around him and gave him a big hug, I didn't want to let go.

Even though I realised it was a dream, when we hugged it was like someone was holding me when I was lying in my bed. I could feel myself being squeezed together.

Whilst I was still sleeping I could feel my entire body being numb and tears streaming down my face.

The dream didn't really have an ending, and I am glad it didn't.

It is not like I woke up during, or right after my dream, which is normally how I remember them.

It didn't end, and I am still hugging my uncle in my dreams.

  1. This is really beautiful, and I'm sure you found the encounter with your uncle comforting. I had a dream a few months ago that I saw my sweet grandpa, who passed away in 2004, sitting across from me at the end of a big dinner table. There were lots of other people there, but like you, I don't remember their faces. I was so glad to see him that I crawled on my hands and knees across the table so I could press my forehead to his. I miss him so much. That dream was a treat.
