One of my best friends in the Navy was a guy named John. He was Irish from Ireland. He grew up in Castle Knock, which I believe is a Dublin area neighborhood. He and I were great friends throughout our four years in the Navy.When we got out of the Navy, he convinced me to move in with him and his Capricorn girlfriend. (How the heck I know her sign and not his is perplexing, but I'm a Capricorn, too.) Needless to say, at some point they decided to ditch me and get a place of their own. That wouldn't have offended me at all except that they didn't tell me of their plans until after they'd given their one month notice to our landlord. I still didn't make waves, but waited until they left before I expressed my anger at being left out of the loop.
Shortly after, he just seemed to disappear. My other local Navy friends had also kept in touch with him, and all of us lost track of him completely.
Since then I've had dreams about him from time to time, and last nights was the most poignant.
My dream:
He seemed to be working in small 4' deep pool. More like a tub I guess. I'm not sure what was wrong with it, or why he was working on it. There was a moment of recognition, and I was just dumbfounded at having run into him finally. He just kind of smiled smugly.
The Capricorn girlfriend seemed to be milling around as well, but she looked a lot different. John himself looked like he aged a bit.
This is the first dream where I've expressed to him how concerned I was about his disappearance, how I've had dreams about him, how I thought that maybe he'd died. He just kind of smiled smugly at me.
He didn't say anything during the dream, and that was the end of it. I think I was still telling him about how I and our other friend had searched for him.
Was kind of unsettling.
Do people dream of people who died? This mystery always weighs heavy on me whenever it comes up.
