Reply #21: DT. A series of continuous dreams this morning with awake interruptions.

First my cat woke me up really early to go out. So I let him out and went back to bed. I started dreaming of being at a scenic campsite with my deceased husband and two of my deceased cats. This is what we used to do back before he fell ill. We were doing ordinary things, but I remarked that the third cat was missing (also deceased but part of my camping kitty trio when they were alive). So we set out to look for her. Then present kitty woke me up with scratching and meowing at the door wanting to get in. So I woke up from that dream and let him in.

I went back to bed and drifted back to sleep. This time when I started to dream, my DH and I were getting ready to go for an event. The event we went to was at a large hotel with many ballrooms. There were many various events going on. We made it to our designated ball room, where I ran into a friend of mine who died a few years back from cancer. She was young and lovely like she was when we first met each other in our early thirties. So was my husband for that matter, young not lovely but looking handsome. She told me she had sneaked into various of the other events because there was better food in them. She led the way and my husband and I went from ball room to ball room sampling the food in each and in each we ran into other people (also deceased) that we had know when they were alive. Some of them had been famous in life. Then there was a live concert, a string octet that was all women happening in one of the rooms. Although they were playing classical music they were doing it with rocker body language. We stayed for awhile and then went back to our event. We attempted to pay for the food we had eaten at events we weren't invited to but no one would take our money. Soon another friend of my husband arrived. Now he was an African American who looked white and back in those days passed for white. But in this dream he was black so we were about to take him to the other events with better food, when my son-in-law woke me up with his weed wacker.

I have no idea of the meaning of these dreams except that they involved pets and people who are deceased but who were very much alive in the dreams. I have had these dreams before and while in them I forget that the people are passed on. It's very real and the fact that they died doesn't enter my head while I'm dreaming. It's only when I wake up I realize they are dead and in the past. There were also lots of people like crowds in the ball rooms and the halls whom I didn't know but who were definitely individuals and very clearly were so. My husband, friend and I chit chatted with many of them. I don't know what to make of these dreams.
