can the dead touch dreams?
Last night or this morning, I don't know which, I had a very confusing messed up dream. We (my mother, me, and two other people I can't remember) were sitting in a resurant or some place of the like. When someone said something and I looked next to me and my grandpa gallagher was there. I grinned and started talking to him, he talked back. And then someone said something about my gradmother lucy having cancer and they weren't sure she would make it. It then struk me... I remembered my grandpa Gallagher couldn't be here... he was dead... but when I looked over there he was. I was so confused, I started bawling. He wouldn't disappear even though I knew he was gone. He just smiled and told me to stop crying, it was alright, he was always there, and I can do what ever I want, be what ever I want. Though it was in his thick Rhode Island accent more like "cut that out, whats yous cryin for? I'm alright, grampas here..." and so on. Mom asked me what was wrong and I told her grandpa was here talking to me, and wouldn't disappear though I knew he was dead. And I couldn't stop crying, I was just bawling so hard over missing him. But then he poked my side and tickled it kinda, and I smiled a small bit through my crying "grampaaa heh stop it." It freaked out whoever we were with and they left our table. I looked up to see where they went and when I looked back... my grampa was gone. I startd to bawl again, making the scene I had to leave the place, so ma and whoever else we were with left. That's when I woke up. I woke up bawling my eyes out, and for some reason I still can't stop. It's very not like me to cry at all. I didn't cry at the funeral, I didn't cry when I found out he died, I didn't cry at all. And now, now I am bawling like a baby. So I wonder, did the dream mean something? I am a firm believer in dreams having significant meanings. I also wonder... can the dead touch dreams? Was he really there and trying to say something? I don't know.
