dream...
I have been awake for about an hour and a half, after a dream about Scott's dad. In my dream he looked just like the pictures I have seen of him when Scott was a boy. I dreamed that we were in Wisconsin, just Scott, Chelsea and I. It was raining and we drove to his Aunt Lovice's house, (which didnt' look anything like her real house) and I went inside while Scott and Chelsea went next door to visit his parents. Then, Scott's mom (who has been gone for a couple of years now) came out. She too was young, and looking more happy and radiant than I have ever seen her. She was followed by Scott and his dad and we all piled into a station wagon and started driving through this bright canyon. Very casually, Scott's dad informed us that he was going to die at 7:30 and said the name of some town I had never heard. Then he said to Scott that he (scott) was going to die young, in his twenties because he was drinking too much.
It sounded like a warning Scott might have gotten in his teens when he WAS drinking a lot...Then we ended up in a big gymnasium where there were racks of clothes and we were supposed to pick out the clothes we wanted wear when we eventually died. Of course I could never decide on just ONE outfit, before I woke up. Normally this would seem creepy, but it was so calm and serene, there was no fear or forboding in the dream.
I often have very frightening nightmares, but this was NOT one of them. I don't think it was prophetic, just a reassurance that if Dad ( I call him dad because he is the only father I have ever known) does leave us soon, I know he will be a lot happier than he is now.
