In general, I consider myself a very active dreamer, but this weekend was just more interesting than most.
From time to time, I will dream about a good friend who passed away from cancer in her early 20's. This past weekend I went to bed and dreamed of her again. We were involved in a friendly competetion as part of a team. Our other friends were there and there was a strong feeling of solidarity. Oddly, this dream came after another dream in the same night, in which I was getting married but none of my friends came to my wedding.... ANYWAY. I woke up, didn't think much of it, and went about my business. After logging in to Facebook, I realized that it was her birthday. I'd completely forgotten since I'm just terrible at birthdays in general.
I was surprised and told my boyfriend about the dream. Our conversation got around to talking about dreams in general and I mentioned that I never dream about my grandfather, who passed away 15 years ago. My exact words were "I never dream about grandpop - I wish I would." Fast forward to that night.... I had an alarmingly clear dream about my grandfather. Usually in my dreams people don't look the way they do in real life (i.e., I'll dream about my mom but my dream mom doesn't look like my real mom, but I know it's her anyway). In this dream, he looked exactly right, exactly how I remember. We sat and talked about everyday things. We talked about how terrible our favorite NFL team is doing this season, and I joked with him that next season would be the season. He asked me about all about my new boyfriend, and we talked about the damage that Sandy did to his/our town. All normal things that he would be interested in. It wasn't anything crazy but I woke up feeling so amazed.
Now my question to all of you is this: when you dream of people who have passed, do you think there's a possibility that you've actually connected or do you think it's your subconscious dreaming about something you would love to have happen to you? Part of me thinks that since it had been on my mind that day, it makes natural sense to have dreamt of my grandfather that night. BUT, I have wished and wished a million times to dream of him. That day was the first time I ever said it out loud, and lo and behold, I got my wish. I like to think that maybe he heard me and dropped in for a visit, but my logical side says it's just not possible. I'm not a psychic or a medium, and I'm not sure I would have the capability for such a thing...
