Okay Syd, pull yourself together, this ought to be interesting, you'll want to be fully awake and alert for this! And since it's JUST a dream, why not have a little fun,,,

"Hi Daddy!"

I say in a sugary sweet voice, as if I was a typical "daddy's girl" and he nothing but a loving and concerned father.

But as he walks in, I notice he doesn't seem that different from real life, perhaps a little less stressed, but still serious and impossible to read. I feel a desperate need to break the silence as he slumps down into the chair next to me, with a look of hesitant happiness.

"So guess who I just talked to?"

No answer, Okay I'll tell you,,,

"Mom! Yeah, she apologized and told me not to make the same mistakes as she did, which will be pretty easy since I have no evil plan to take over the world,,,"

The silent speaks, while sitting up straighter, "Syd, your mom has made lots of mistakes but she's hardly evil, I thought we had put all of this behind us?"

"Oh yeah, we have," that's right in THIS dream we're one big happy family, "it was just good to hear her say it, that's all."

"Syd I know the years we were separated were really hard on you, I'm not blind, I'm just sorry I wasn't there for you more, but now we're really trying,,, me and mom, we're ganna make it up to you guys,,,"

'You guys', that's plural, hmm, guess in this dream I actually have siblings (sigh),,,

"So what did Danny say?"

"Dr.Hecht? Said you might have some trouble remembering things, you may be a bit confused for awhile, gave us some tips on how to help you remember,,,"

The door opened and the intruder interrupted our "father-daughter" moment.

"Sis!"

WHAT!?! Straining my neck to see around dad's big head, I'm somewhat confused but not too surprised at the person I see,,,
