I dreamt my wife died. I was sitting right next to her when she passed on. Her family were in the room. I turned to her and realised she was dead, and was wondering what to say to her mum. And then her mum came over and taped her shoulder and asked if she'd like some tea. Well, I just sat there like a lump. I didn't know what to do or say. She tapped again. "Sally... Sally, would you like some tea?" Then Sally turned around and whispered "yes please". I was so shocked! I snapped around and noticed she was still alive.I don't know if she had died, but decided to come back or if everything was my imagination, I mean, how do you use your imagination in a dream?

This was my last dream which prompted my to get up at 0530, still crying, and just holding onto Sally. I think she didn't appreciate me waking her up, but she assured my she's alive.

Anyhow, then I remembered a previous dream (on the same night) where I was with my sister in the house we grew up in. I think in this dream our mum died. I told my sis that I would pronounce it to my family, but she said not yet. That they will fight us for the house, and we'd b kicked out. Now this is weird as there's no way this would happen, but it seems like maybe it was the same sort of delay as the first dream. Maybe a delay of recognition of how much these people do mean to me. All prompted by Lindaland.

OK, Ive stopped crying. I think I may have analysed these ones OK, but I might've missed something. What do you think Ra, or anyone?

Heaps of Love,
Dean.

Yeah Dean, I think you have this one figured out. Your subconscious mind was making all sorts of death connections, kind of playing them out. There could be the suggestion of confusion or recognition issues, as you said, but I think this dream is more about the emotion you are experiencing because of it ... so it is more of an experiencial dream than it is symbolic, and therefore not really interpretable, except for a few suggestions. Does that make sense?

I emailed Randall, and he said to deleted offline internet files which worked! I didn't even think of this, I just kept thinking that my work found out I was going here, and blocked it, but no, so my dream was pretty real hey? I mean, figuratively.
