Dreams
4/3/09
I dreamt I was in a car with a mother, her older son, and her youngest daughter.
Our surroundings were bleak and deserted as if a massacre had happened.
I tried to touch the girl when her brother turned around and put his hand through me as if I were a ghost.
Then as went through a tunnel I heard the girl say she missed her twin brother.
When we reached the other side I was no longer in the car.
The scene that lay before me was a snow covered meadow with little snow flakes falling to the earth so gently, as if they were in a winter dance.
I saw they family again and this time there was the twin brother playing with his sister.
They seemed so happy.
He began to wander away from his family and I followed behind.
He began to jump as he was beginning to sink in deeper snow.
He was so elated and overjoyed by this new game that he didn't see the peril that lay before him.
He jumped on thin ice and fell into the cold icy waters.
He called for help but no one was there but me.
I tried to help get him out of the water, but yet again I was a tangible being.
He began to cry and the only thing I could do was say everything would be alright.
As if he had heard me he looked straight at me.
I saw the fear in his eyes and shouted for help.
Before I could even get the word out of my mouth his elder brother rushed to my side.
He had heard his brother's cry for help and he pulled him out of the water.
They wrapped him in blankets and rushed him to the hospital.
I close my eyes and I open them to a hospital room.
The boy lay in the bed with his family surrounding him.
He laid there under the warm covers.
He was smiling.
"Mommy… I saw spirit. She was worried and tried to help me."
Tears fell out of his mother's eyes.
The boy turned his gaze to me as if he could still see me, and only me.
"Thank you spirit."
Was all he said before he fell into a forever sleep.
