The Echo Of A Dream ~ Brought On A Loss of Words

Hello and Happy Sunday!

Some may say it’s rare for me to be at a loss for words, but today, I kind of am. I think it’s because of the semi-bad and gross dream I had this morning. I’d rather not go too deeply into it, but I will say it involved death, decay, animals, and the heartbreaking feeling of losing my little Kasey (Maltese) all over again.

Dreams like this trigger a deep sadness in me, and I can understand where some of it comes from—things I’ve been watching on YouTube or researching for one of my books. Death, animals, and sometimes decay are in the material I’m viewing, but my Kasey is not. The feeling of searching for her and knowing, even within the dream, that she has been gone for over five years just brings the heartbreak to the surface all over again.

I guess I should be looking into my subconscious and asking why it keeps bringing her into my dreams. Yes, this isn’t the first time she has appeared in a dream since she passed. Looking back over the last several years, I’d say this is the fifth or sixth time.

There were several years when I wasn’t dreaming much, and even now, I often don’t remember them. But the ones with her—I remember. Personally, I’d love to recall more of my dreams. I think dreams can reveal things about ourselves and possibly provide answers we may be seeking, whether we realize it or not. Remembering them would be helpful.

Today, my words are limited until I bring myself out of the fog. Sharing here helps me sort out my thoughts and often my feelings.

So, how do you feel about dreams? Do you work through things while sleeping? Does your TV, movie, YouTube, or book consumption trickle into your dreams, taking hold and influencing what you see and feel?

What are your thoughts on dreams? If you happen to know tricks for remembering dreams and want to share them, I’d love to hear your ideas and suggestions.

For now, I have to end this, walk back home (we walked over to my favorite coffee shop), and prepare to work with the Toastmasters Youth Leadership group. So, until next time…

Have a great week! May it be filled with love, laughter, hugs, and blessings.🌻
