I had an amazing dream last week and I wanted to record it in some fashion before it was forgotten. Here goes:
I was in a large factory full of immaculately maintained silver machinery, seeming to be alone I snuck into a small room using a key I'd found outside the door. Inside the room I found what looked to be a large silver oven with intricate designs covering the outside door. I was in the process of opening said oven when I heard something in the distance. Through the glass window of the door I could see my Dad walking towards the room. For some reason I felt like I shouldn't have been in the room, this combined with my lack of hand-eye coordination led to me fumbling
the key hot potato style in an attempt to put it back where I'd found it. At the same moment I got the key back to it's appropriate cubby hole my Dad showed up and said "I've got something important to show you." He turned and started walking away swiftly. I eagerly followed close behind as we wound through the factory and into a larger room full of conveyor belts and workers sorting thousands of small boxes. My Dad turned to me and said "These are the greatest!", referring to none other than Quaker Chewy Dipp Granola Bars. He handed me a coupon for $1.50 off if I bought 2 boxes. I appreciated the gesture.After I recieved my coupon we warped to the dining room of the Lake house where my Dad and my Grandpa were sitting at the table, I was standing about 10 feet away in the kitchen and an unidentified shadow man with a top hat was standing between us and off to one side. This is where it gets a little crazy. My Grandpa "says" to me "We wanted to show you something." I noticed something was a little strange because I heard my Grandpa's voice but his mouth never moved. The communication was channeling through my mind, no physical movements necessary. I must have caught on because I was able to respond in the same manner, "ok." My Grandpa then sends me, "This is how we talk to dead people or those that are on there way out." My Dad seemed to be communicating with the shadow man as if to give me a working example. I don't think I knew the shadow guy, but I got the feeling he wasn't fully out of this world yet. I got an overall feeling of peace and calmness.
Next I warped to a gravel road with my Dad walking at my side. I asked him, "Why are you here?" He responded, "You're sad that I'm gone and you wanted to ask me some questions."
He was right, I am sad that he's gone and I've got countless questions I wish I could ask him. I'll still ask, knowing that it may be awhile before he gets back to me. In any case, thanks for the dream, it was pretty cool, and say hi to all the relatives for me.
