Either way, in my dream there was a man who had lost his son and had created a 3d piece of art in memory of him. He had found this therapeutic and was therefore offering to create a similar piece for others mourning. I approached him and we talked. He agreed to make a piece for me and then asked me whom it was for. I couldn't remember. I thought to myself, well I've been crying so much the last few days, I must be mourning. Then I remembered it was my friend Cheryl (who I lost in 1998).

I woke up pretty much immediately after this and felt so guilty I thought I was going to be sick.

In my waking hours I think it's just a good example of the denial going on in my brain.

In other news I spent the afternoon attempting to Christmas shop on line. People are going to get very unimaginative presents this year.
Oh an dmy concentration was so shot I ended up ordering all the gifts from one website - but in 4 separate orders. Thank goodness for free postage!

I bought myself some new pyjamas in the week. Mum admired them muchly and, as it was her birthday yesterday (great timing Dad!) and imagination as I've indicated above is very low, I ended up buying her a pair as a birthday gift. Today saw us sitting in adjacent chairs, in identical pjs, initially reading the Sunday papers in unison and then knitting...!

The dreaming brain's so inept at connecting cause and effect that I think it's hard to draw any conclusions at all, but certainly nothing you should feel guilty about. Brains is weird. That's my scientific analysis. Also I think that image of you and your mum as homemade twins is slightly adorable.

It did make me smile!

I think that now that everything is over, I mean, the ceremony, visits and so on, your mum and you will be better.
About your dream... your mind (and mine) goes in its own way and it is trying to cope with everything.
About the pjs, newspaper and knitting... it is so adorable!.
I hope you are feeling a bit better.
One thing, yesterday I was writing the Xmas cards and since you are at your mum's... do you want me to send your card to your house or your mum's?.
Take care.

Thanks, I'll get there eventually.

as for Christmas card, I visit my house twice a day to feed the plentiful cats, so either address would be fine.

I think I only have an address for you before you moved (I think you moved?) if you could inbox me your address that would be useful...

Dreams like that are completely understandable - and common! Subconscious pulls out and mixes random stuff, including things we might not want to handle when awake.

Nothing wrong with warm pyjamas and Sunday papers... Small moments of happiness must be treasured.

Thank you - and in a way I'm quite glad my dreams haven't caught up wth reality, it means I get to interact normally and without angst almost nghtly with my Dad. I don't want that to stop any time soon.

also, similarly to the comment I mae above this one, I only have an old address for you - could you message me your current abode...
