Parallel Dimensions

I was at my Mom’s house. She was sitting on the couch. I was sitting on a bed that was set up right in the middle of the living room. We were chatting about lord knows what. Then we heard someone knocking at the screen of the front door. Since the inside door was open, we both looked up to see it was my Dad standing there. I got up to let him in. My Mom and I were astounded because he looked so young. Then I said to her, “Wait. He died.” I asked him, “What are you doing here? And why do you look so young?” He said, “I don’t know. I just ended up here.” I knew he was being honest, so I let him in the house. Even though my Mom was right there, I knew he was there to see me. He sat right next to me on the bed set up in the middle of the living room. Aria was playing in another room, and I called her to come say hello to her ‘Buelo. She came out for a moment, but was not interested in hanging around. I looked at my Dad sitting next to me. I have no idea what he told me. I just leaned over and hugged him. He gave me the biggest hug I should’ve had when he was still alive.

Then I woke up.

By now you should know, I’m a big believer that our dreams are connected to our lives in more ways than our subconscious. I’ve always been wary about dreaming of the dead. I believe when they show up in our realm, they may bring something with them. It may be good. It may be bad. I don’t know.

I’d like to think my Dad is taking care of me now from wherever he’s at, since he didn’t do it while he was here. So I’m hoping he just really wanted to give me a hug because maybe he knows for me this year has been a total fire in a barrel dumpster on a shopping cart racing downhill.

My heart rages around like an ocean in my head
Because there are so many things that I left unsaid
I can almost feel you
Walking in the distance
But I know that is not reality
If you are echoing around
Inside these parallel dimensions all along
Know I’ll find you in my dreams
