09/29/2001 Entry: "Dreaming of Dad"

For the first time since the death of my father nearly seven years ago, I had a dream about him, both last night and the night before.
Both of them were calm, warm, soothing dreams. The first one, it was me and him in an unidentifiable room (no colour no markings), just talking. The second one, him and I were at Salsbury House talking over coffee...

... In the dreams, my appearance was just as I am now, and his was just as I remember him (I'm taller than him, actually!!). In each dream, he's talking about something, and in the dream I can understand him, but when I try to remember what he's talking about, I realize that what he was talking about was indescipherable. What he's talking about, I receive... peace of mind and strength from, as though he were giving me advice or wisdom.
In light of this, I've been listening to a lot of older songs he would listen to -- Aerosmith, older Rolling Stones, Midnight Oil, AC/DC... and I feel that same peace of mind and strength as in the dreams. I think I want to go fishing, just me and my sister, sometime soon.
