A dream
Two nights ago, I stayed up really late...playing online ...of course and Ryan had already gone to bed. I finally went in about midnight to get in bed and as usual there was only a little sliver of covers because he had them all and a half of a pillow. So I quietly crept in there and slid under my sliver and laid my head on the half of the pillow. Suddenly Ryan started to mumble something like "don't snatch". I didn't understand what he meant because I didn't snatch anything and I was being so quiet. After a few minutes he jumps up and goes into the living room and sleeps on the couch. I'm thinking "ok?". He never sleeps on the couch. We don't go to sleep mad...etc. So the next morning he gets up and I'm making coffee and he comes in and says Good morning and kisses me...the usual. We went about our day and I didn't say anything but I could tell something was really bothering him. I couldn't figure out what I had done. Come to find out....I didn't' do anything.
Ryan had a dream. And Ryan never ever ever dreams. At least he doesn't remember them. He has a little office out back in the shed with a computer and TV and he hangs out back there a lot with his dogs and friends...etc. He told me that in the dream he walked out to the office and my brother that has passed was sitting there in his chair just as if he was alive and he told Ryan that he was sorry.
This has really affected him. I can tell that he was very upset by it. And Ryan is not one to show his emotions very easily. You see Ryan and I have been together for over 20 years and he was like a brother to Boddy. They were really close.
It's weird too because I keep teasing him about Boddy being out there because all of his Harleys are out there and his tools...etc. He was a motorcycle mechanic. I have a lot of his stuff. One day Ryan was working on the brakes on my car and he needed a tool so he went to my brother's toolbox and went straight to the tool he needed. I teased Ryan and told him that Boddy helped him find it. : )
In some strange way, this feels good to me.

How sweet that you were content with your half a pillow and sliver of covers! Did he realise that he'd said those things and gone to sleep on the couch?
I think his dream was maybe more about feelings that he has than any visits from the otherside. But I can understand why you'd find it comforting.

Well, I've heard many times that those are on the other side can visit us in dreams. You never know. Hugs, Martha

Dreams can be very powerful and often express deep setted feelings that we have never expressed. Powerful entry.
