We were able to sleep in a little later today because of a snow day. The roads actually stayed clear, but the threat of the snow that was supposed to fall was worse than what actually ended up falling. When I awoke, I felt that something was different. Something extraordinary had occurred so I quickly scanned my brain for what it could be. And then it hit me. I had dreamed about mom. I saw her in my dream, heard her voice and even spent a few moments with her by my side before I awoke.
The dream didn’t make sense really. I was waiting in line at the Dollar General to buy a Highlights Look and Find book. While I waited for someone to come to the counter, I talked to mom on the phone. I was telling her that I was buying this book and then I would be over for a visit. No one ever showed up at the counter, so I gave up, put the book down and left.
The next thing in the dream was the whole family walked to a busy park. Beneath several tall trees, we spread out a blanket because we were going to be there for a while and have a picnic. There must have been an event occurring because it was very busy with lots of people doing the same thing. I overheard Ashley asking mom what she was doing the following day. Then I heard her say, “That’s great! We’ll get to spend the whole day together”.
And that’s when I woke up. I remember hearing mom’s voice, but I don’t recall what she actually said. She was happy though and we were all together just like in times past. The difference was that Ashley was there as her adult self. Ashley was fifteen when she died, so it was just odd seeing her there standing next to mom, adult to adult.
I realize that hearing about other people’s dreams isn’t interesting at all, but I had to write it down because it is very, very rare for me to dream about my mom. I have probably only seen and heard her voice in a dream four times since she died and she will be gone eight years this summer.
I miss her very much.
Love your dream. I dream about her to but not often. Miss her everyday.
Thank you for sharing. It must have made you feel both happy to be with her in the dream, yet sad she is gone. I have those dreams too about my loved ones that have passed on.

So sweet to see that picture. Thank you for sharing that with us.
Love the picture.In 18 month period I lost my dad 5-2016,then my brother 8-2016 then my sister 11-2017.I have had a very few dreams with them in it and it such a sereal feeling when you wake up.I truley believe they visit us in many different ways to let us know they are o.k.
I wrote to you when I lost my Dad . It will be two years in August . Cannot believe that! I had a dream about him …I guess it’s been a month ago and he told my brother and I that there was nothing the Drs could do and I was asking him to get a second opinion . I know now that he knew he had cancer and was going to live his life to the fullest with what time he had left. It’s nice to know but I really miss him and nothing will ever be the same.
I thank you very much for giving me comfort when I asked you how you coped. It really was helpful. The good thing is that we will see our parents again one day.

This was so touching-and for me IT IS interesting about hearing about dreams-especially like this. After Marlowe died-I had so many odd things happen-like she owned a digital tape recorder. After I was released I went through some of the things my brother managed to get from my apartment and the recorder was there. I had no interest and I threw it out. On my third trip back from the garbage-the recorder I had thrown out was back on the table-so I threw it out again. While making supper for my Mom that night-it was sitting on the desk by the microwave. I was like WTF-asked if anybody was bringing it in and they all said no. I figured I would toss it the next day-maybe I just dropped it. That night I dreamed about Marlowe. It went from places we always went-the Sushi place-her favorite Thai place-and in each segment she would look at me and say-I can’t stay here with you but I’ll always be near-listen to the recorder. % different places and each time she would vanish. Woke up with tears running down my face. I picked up the recorder with no idea how to use it-the instructions were gone but i figured it out and turned it on and her voice came out….she had wanted to do stuff on You Tube or open a bar so she had read parts of books onto the recorder and there was a part where we were making lasagna in the kitchen and another part where we were making S’mores on the grill…I now it sounds unbelievable but it’s true. It’s my most treasured possession-she never liked filming herself and I always thought there would be time. There have been other things and dreams-so I know there is something special in them. Love the picture. Hugs and warm wishes to you and your family always.
