I perhaps have odd things to be envious about. Specifically, I have more than a little envy re the people I know who are having dreams of the relatively recently deceased.
Best I understand it, this is something that happens as the brain gets used to the idea that this person is dead. It's less traumatic to think in a dream "wait, but how can you be here you died last month" and wake up with that as a memory than to have to remember it while awake.
Thing is, I didn't get those dreams. My memory is faulty, and one needs to wake at the right time to remember a dream, but the closest I can remember is a dream where I was managing my mother's medical care either on a cruise ship in a landlocked state or from a cruise ship in a landlocked state. And then realized wait, she died a couple months ago.
Note the lack of actual visit, and the fact that it was still all about managing stuff around her.
In other news, I've gotten good reviews on both leading and voice acting. Not such a bad thing. And saw Tomorrowland which was I suppose pretty and had not just one but two female leads making things happen with George Clooney mostly getting dragged along for the ride.
And Angles last night was wonderful, including all manner of odd choices of music. To quote : Did a G-d knows what with Hugo to Comfortably Numb.
Then Better than Ice Cream started as leading waltz then following tango.
Iris ("bleed just to know you're alive") - followed a lovely waltz with an older guy who waltzes at glen echo.
Carry on my wayward son .... Does a lot of tempo change, but I had a great time following.
One highlig was someone telling me she had been dancing 7 years and didn't lead (I had asked if she wanted to switch off) and so for a second dance I told her just dance and keep me with you. And she asked how to do turns and I said think of it as what time is it it's time to turn - look at the back of your wrist. And I had a lovely lovely dance with her far nicer than what I thought I had lead. And then later I watched her leading someone else!
