I dream every night, usually more than one, long, detailed, intense dreams. Full color, full pain, everything is 100% real. last night, one of the ones I remembered in the morning was I was at my dad's house, and he was trying to figure out how to wash the pad on his hammock.. i was advising him to throw it in the washer, since getting a new one wouldn't be super expensive... and since this one was soiled with mouse ick, i felt that trying to wash it, with bleach would make more sense. then there was more mouse ick and some oily smudges on his brown leather briefcase, and I told him to try to scrub it with an antibacterial lysol wipe, and then apply mink oil.
Often I have bad dreams, sometimes so bad that I literally cannot talk about them. sometimes I fall off a cliff, and instead of waking up, I hit the ground and feel all my bones shatter... then I usually try to scream... if I'm lucky, i make enough noise that my husband (when He's home) will wake me up.. if not, I will writhe on the ground, all broken and bloody for what feels like hours. once, i was eaten alive by a werewolf... from the legs up.
When my best friend died 6 years ago, i visited her in my dreams. I swear I was visiting her at her new house in Heaven. God had given her a new truck, and she didn't want to talk about how much I was missing her... she said "it doesn't matter now, come sit on the swing, and we can chat"... she was a beautiful woman, and not a day goes by that I don't miss her. I am very glad to know that she is safe and without pain.
