A dream I just awoke from
I just woke up about 20 minutes ago and was having this dream. Im gonna try and remember as much detail as possible:
I was at a funeral here in Albuquerque with my mom. They were burying 2 different people in the same grave. I suspect that I knew who they were but don't recall exactly who. I remember one casket being loaded into the ground and pallbearers carrying the next casket to be placed in the same hole. My grandmother was there too. I remember peering into the hole before the 2nd casket was to be placed into it. It turned out though, that this grave was merely an opening, that this grave was like a giant underground family crypt or mausoleum and after the caskets were placed we all entered it through this separate entrance. There was other people in there, people that were in attendance at this double funeral. I went in there with my mom. Grandma was already down there. Everything was seemingly normal and people were just quietly chatting amongst themselves. My mom confirmed with me that it was an old final resting place of the family that had been around for years. It was very large and cavernous with 2 large sections and one small one. There was other caskets and containers (assuming that they contained ashes) everywhere, not exactly cluttered but not exactly organized either. I remember walkign around exploring and looking at everything, wondering who these people(the deceased) were. I don't recall reading any names that seemed familiar. As I was exploring, no one seemed to be paying me much mind. I remember being tempted to open random caskets just to peak at who was in them to see what they looked like. I didnt though. At one point I wandered over and sat near to where my mom was chatting with someone. Suddenly to my left, there was a little pudgy girl that was looking at me kinda angrily. She said to me, "I hate you!" in a brattly, little girl kinda way. I wasnt scared, just kinda surprised I guess... then she was gone and there was a man and this woman who I wasnt familiar with but Im assuming we were related somehow (by the way, everyone there, I assume I was of some relation to only I wasnt familiar with anyone other than my mom and grandma). They were tending to a glass box which contained the well preserved remains of the same little girl I had just encountered! They seemed sad as they were dusting it off. They were talking to me but I don't recall what they were saying. I remember I really felt for them, so much that I hid my face in a nearby curtain and began to weep. After that I noticed other containers that had old black and white portraits of whoever's (I assume) remains were in them. They were kind of odd shaped, like nothing I've seen before. I wanted to go look at them but my mom was saying somethign to me, what, I don't know, I wasnt really paying close attention, distracted by the portraits. There was names and dates on some of the containers but I don't recall what any of them said...
It was at this point that I started to wake and the dream faded away. This was one of the most fascinating dreams I've ever had! It wasnt a nightmare at all. I know it sounds kind of morbid and creepy and I could see how others might see it that way, but it wasnt scary. I awoke feeling peaceful about it, but SO intrigued by it! This is something I want to remember, which is why Im taking the time to transcribe it at this time. There's still many small details in it but Im trying to rush through this before things fade away.
