Mike, I am so sorry you are having such horrible dreams. I do think it is a reoccurring theme for us to dream our loved ones back. I often have dreams of my husband, but mostly they are as if the cancer never happened and we had just continued life, uninterrupted. I did have that one beautiful "visit" that many of us here are lucky enough to have. Between four and six months of losing my husband he seemed to actually come to me. We gazed into each others eyes and lay next to each other and talked of nothing more than the mundane things of life, the kids, the weather, etc. It was such a comforting feeling and some how this "visit" let me know he was okay. When I look back at this "visit" I always kind of kick myself for not asking him more questions.......like where he was, and was he okay and that sort of thing.
I think that we will forever dream of them, they will forever be a part of us, because like I have said so many times.......the love does not die, it lives forever in your heart.
May the days be kinder, the nights sweeter and your memories warm.
Love Ya, Lyn

I too continue to have dreams...nightmares really. Tom is very seldom in the dreams but they are always about confusion, being lost and scared....
I made it through Thanksgiving pretty well this year and now on to Christmas...
I used to drem a lot but now not so much. And none with Ken in them. I used to wish that I did dream of him but not if they are going to be like yours, Mike. That must have been so disturbing. Dreams like that stay with you for a while. It must have been terrible to think that you were going to go through all that again. Here's hoping for kinder dreams tonight. Deb
Old Mike...could Ann be trying to tell you to check your health? Sometimes when I dream those types of dreams someone I know is sick or needs to go to the doctor. I don't want to get to personal but when is the last time you had a very complete physical? I don't need to know that questions answer but ask yourself. Maybe Ann knows something that you don't and she is trying to tell you through these dreams. I know it sounds very crazy but, I go by the results of these dreams that I have had. When I dream that I am dieing, someone I know very well usually passes away. Needless to say I do not like these types of dreams as they scare the daylights out of me but, please think carefully if Ann could be trying to tell you something.
That goes for any of you. Do you think your loved ones could be trying to let you know something about your health of even finances. I will stop talking now.
Mike, the dreams are great when they are of happy times. The disturbing ones - not so much. I can see how the dream evoked the emotions of losing Ann again. I guess that our mind really does work 24 hours a day trying to come to terms with what has happened. I hope that the next dream of Ann will be happy and bring a moment of peace to your heart. In your response to the other post where you played the piano for Ann before but you had no audience now, yes you do - because you still play for her. Joyce

Mike, I'm sorry your are having these terrible dreams. I couldn't tell you what they mean. There could be so many answers. Since Bob passed I haven't dreamed at all. I would love to have a happy dream about him. If I have dreamed I don't remember any of them. I hope you have better dreams tonight and in the future. Hugs.....Sue
It's strange Mike, but I had a dream with Tom and my little Westie last night. Tom was falling down a cliff with her and she ended up in water and was drowning. It ended happily though with Tom okay and I was able to dive in and save Frankie. I woke up crying though! I've had some really bizarre dreams too. Some are worse then others. They feel so real it's scary. If they are trying to tell us something, I wish they would make it a little bit clearer! Take care of yourself........psh
Suzy is in my dreams sometimes, but I never actually see her. She is always just out of sight to my side. In the very beginning, I believe I had several very troubling dreams about her and then they stopped. When I gave up building and racing cars, I dreamed about them for years, then, after we moved to the city from the ski house I had built, I dreamed about it for a long time, now, I dream a lot about the business that I was in for 45 years. Sometimes when I wake up I feel like I've been working all night. Not a bad feeling. I loved what I did.
Mike, I feel for you. I had only one dream that I can remember, and that was many months ago. David came home from work, and on his way in from the car shouted "I'm home!" That was joyous and sad...
Keep playing the piano for Ann.
hugs...marty
