My alarm had been going off for ten minutes before I awoke this morning. I dragged myself out of bed and into the shower. It was there that a dream from the night came racing to the forefront of my mind.

I dreamed about him again, I dreamed about Jimmy. It's been a long time...six months...maybe a year. When I dream about Jimmy the place is always different but I am always thrilled to see him. I never remember what happened when I'm dreaming about him. I can't believe how much he's changed since I last saw him. Last night he looked different than I remember him, he was older, maybe 25. His face had filled out, his red hair had turned more of a strawberry blonde, but he was the same Jimmy. The same grin. The same eyes. As he usually is in my dreams, he was all smiles, no words. I am always comforted by his appearance in my dreams. I feel reassured. But about what, I don't know.

It'll be eight years this May since we lost him at 16. I miss him so much.

What a nice gift, though, that you don't have to remember in the dream, that you just get to enjoy seeing him.

It really is because my waking thoughts are always tainted with how it all ended. :-(

Wow, that's pretty amazing, he's just letting you know he's okay.

I don't know about that...but then, I'm not a spiritual person at all...I see it more as my own mind consoling me. What's weird is that whenever I dream about him it seems to come out of left field. It's not like I've been dwelling on him lately or anything.

Isn't it ironic that in your dream, he looked like he was 25- and he would be about that age now? It's awesome that you dream about him. It's been a very long time since I have. I occasionally dream about grandpa, and it's still a little more unsettling than it is comforting. I still miss them both so much... but it's comforting to think of them together. Jimmy could always make grandpa smile.

Maybe you're more spiritual than you think!

Love you

(((((((((HUGS)))))))))

I hate that the dream has become more hazy throughout the day. His face was so clear at the time, it was nuts to see how much he had changed in the past eight years. I've dreamed about Grandpa too, but not nearly as much as Jimmy. I think the shock of the loss has stuck with me for a long time.

Love to you too!!

Thanks Dora. :-)

Whether it's a gift from the universe, or just your own mind, consolation is always good.
hugs.

I think and dream about Jimmy alot too. Sometime when you are back home, I have a cassett tape of you, Sal, Adam and Jimmy doing your own radio show.

I will never forget his laugh and I always see his smile!

Haha, I know the exact tape you're talking about. I think he was doing a Harry Carey impression. He'd roll onto his back, kick his feet up and just howl with laughter. :-)

It's so true. Thanks Lauo.

*hug*

He's letting you know that he's around and watching over you, Val. That is a gift and a comfort. What a wonderful "dream"!

[this is good]

(((((((((((hug)))))))))))

*hugs* that's a sweet dream/vision, val. i agree with the others that he's trying to comfort you.

this brought tears to my eyes...
these dreams that we have make me feel so warm inside. just to have had him for as long as we did is a blessing in itself.

i love you so much.
