Sometimes sleeping at night is hard
Not only not being able to sleep
But sleeping and dreaming with ‘bad’ dreams
Other times, it’s like I am walking with those who have passed before me
Those marvelous people of my past life
My parents and grandparents
My beautiful and marvelous sister-of-my-heart, Dixie
Haunting dreams
Causing me to wake; to feel fragile and uncertain
Most often I wake and can’t remember my dreams
I just know I dreamed,
Not all dreams are scary, threatening, or nostalgic
They are comforting and familiar
Warm and protective
Those are hard to recall, also.
So, I have decided those dreams,
Those glowing, comforting misty dreams
Which [the feeling] tends to stay with me all through the day
Are sent to me [us] from our dead family and friends
To protect us
And those still with us on the earth
Connecting with us through our dreams.
From my world to your heart,
Linda

I usually don’t remember my dreams either, but I enjoyed reading your thoughts on dreams.

The older I get it seems harder and harder to remember my dreams.

I have been dreaming quite a bit lately…some good some not so good…I wonder if it is our age…or summer or what…Last night it was Chance and a bear…I woke up so scared. Hard to go back to sleep after the action packed dreams:(

Sometimes is terribly hard and the feeling persists all day. Sigh

A lovely musing Linda …thanks for sharing , I admire your ability to put those nebulous thoughts into words. Sleeping is often not easy for me either these days.

I wonder if it is an age thing, or the Earth now.

I’ve been dreaming a lot, too, lately. Some are visitations, some are adventures… I can’t remember specifics but, the feelings remain.

The feelings do remain…I wish I could remember the dream so I could understand the feeling better.

Sometimes our dreams are sent to us, I think, from those who love us.
