Dream Time Again
So last night I had one of those long disjointed dreams where there were lots of parts, and I'm not really sure which order they go in.
I know that in one part I was at some kind of party with people from around the social group my husband and I are a part of. A guy from both of our past, who I dislike in general, was there. I borrowed his car for something or other, and ended up having to talk to him socially.
Later, I was outside the apartment my father and I lived in when my parents got separated and my mom finally kicked me out. There was a drainage area outside, but in the dream it was a fairly deep creek. My father was standing on some rocks on the far side of it, fishing. He had caught some kind of round flat fish. I remember him referring to it as a "9-inch predator". I think he was also diving into the creek, swimming underwater for something and coming out. I wanted to swim too, but was unsure of the water.
I don't think I registered, in the dream, that dad passed away. I was happy to see him, though.
When I woke up, in my semi-conscious state, I reasoned that maybe it was a message from him that he's enjoying himself wherever he is. Fishing, perhaps, by the side of some quiet creek full of fish. He seemed to have a lot of energy in the dream, like a younger man.
When I woke up, the kids actually stayed in bed until after I got myself up, around 7:30. It was nice to sleep in.
