Dreaming...

Saturday night / Sunday morning I had one of those semi-awake dreams... where if you keep your eyes closed, then you can keep yourself in that dream state...

I was asleep on the sofa, and I could sense my Dad, sat in his chair in the corner of the living room... as he used to be, not the confused state of his last year or so... and I could even talk to him (in fact, I think I may have talked out loud, such was the state of conciousness I was in).

It was lovely, and I didn't want to open my eyes, coz I knew (even in my dream state) that I would be alone in the room as soon as I did.

i find this a sad but warming tale Ally..i remember when i was just a little girl having the same kind of dream..except i was sleep walking (which i did ALL the time when i was little)i didn't talk to my Daddy but we did exchange glances and smile..no word were needed and i felt a calming presence wash over me..
