I see this woman in a dream last night
who was a social worker in a nonprofit
that helped the elderly where I worked
before I retired a year ago.
She’s extremely attractive, in her sixties,
and looks remarkably young and
is intelligent and can be philosophical
when it comes to talking about
spirituality, the paranormal, and NDEs,
and she was a great social worker
which I liked about her.
Despite her attractiveness,
more attractive than most women,
and her depth, and her caring for clients
which I liked more than her compelling looks,
I found her annoying at times and
had no romantic interest in her.
In the dream I see her coming towards me
from across a street, and somehow I think
I can make myself invisible to her
because I suspect she will be annoying
and I don’t want to talk to her.
Then, and I don’t know how,
I’m lying down somewhere and
she’s affectionately kissing the
bottom of my shin on my left leg
and telling me her father needs
to go into an assisted living facility.
And though my feelings are not erotic,
and her kisses don’t seem erotic either,
I’m kind of liking the peaceful feeling
she is given me, and I nonchalantly
say to her that her father would have
some socialization were he in
an assisted living facility and maybe
find romance with a woman there.
I say that because somehow I know
he lives alone and is lonely and
having trouble taking care of himself
and feels the need for romance in his life.
I wake up after that wondering
how the hell did that woman
get into my dreams, lol. And I
start to wonder if sometimes when
a person sees someone in a dream
if the person they see is having
a similar dream and seeing them too.
And though my dream of that woman
was surprisingly pleasant, I hope I
don’t see her in anymore dreams.
And I can’t figure out why I would
have a dream with her in it because
I hadn’t thought of her since I retired.
I have had two dreams of people who
died, which I believe were more than
dreams (After Death Communications),
and I believe dreams are sometimes
more than dreams, and I hope that
bizarre dream didn’t mean she died
and was saying a final goodbye to me.
