Bittersweet Dream Last Night

I often dream in great detail and intense coloring, even without taking any Melatonin. :p Last night I had a wonderful dream, as I am a big nature lover. I dreamed that we were out camping in the wilderness. We had parked when it was dark so I was the first one out to see our surroundings when I walked the pup in the morning.

When I went outside, I could hear wild animals in the distance, and birds chirping in the trees. There was a huge beautiful dark blue lake with a small beach area surrounding it and lots of very tall dark green spruce and pine trees. To my left there was another small dirt trail.

I walked there with the dog and there was a winding tree lined trail that was just calling my name. I knew in the dream that I had to be careful, because there were animal droppings around, perhaps from bears, and I wanted to wait for my husband to wake up and walk with me.

When he came outside, he was amazed, it was beautiful like a fantasy fairy tale. We walked together with our young dog and just soaked in all the beauty around us. Even though we weren't cold in the dream, there were some trees coated in beautiful ice in the distance, just glistening in the sunlight.

As my husband walked on a higher level than I was, I walked down on lower land with the pup. The pup walked in front of me and he suddenly changed into my older dog who passed away last August. I started to call out to my husband for him to look, I was very happy to see my Hans again. My voice in the dream was very quiet and I couldn't get him to hear me. As he started to turn to see what I was saying, the dog morphed before my eyes back into the pup we have now.

My older dog had pointed ears and a pepper and salt wiry coat, the dog slowly turned into a honey brown color with floppy ears. I woke up, I think I may have made a noise when trying to call my husband in my sleep. Anyway, I woke up kind of sad, as I miss my boy very much, we had him since he was a young puppy and he was with us until old age.

As I started to type this, I went to my file cabinet to look up the date that we said goodbye to our sweet Schnauzer, it was August 18th....guess he was on my mind and maybe he was just saying hello to me in my dream. :sentimental:
 

<<<<Hugs, Big Hugs>>>> See your baby was visiting you:) The dreams...whoooly crap, menopause n' hot flashes? Medication mixes? Our brains doing overtime as we get older? The dreams...
 
Thanks Fur! :love_heart: Menopause long over with, no meds at all, just a dreamer....like the good ones though, this one lingered with me all day.
 

I have a recurring one. The Concord Hotel was a popular place back in the day. I'll have dreams once in awhile. My parents are probably locked in time maybe 1977? But I'm the age I am now and sitting across the table. In the dream we catch up on kids and grandkids. My Mom passed when my oldest was five. It makes me feel good we can share the others and great grands too.
 
It's nice when we dream about our parents Fur, my mother is always younger like she was when I was a kid growing up. A lot of times in my dreams I'm younger too. Sorry for your loss Fur, I always get a bit melancholy when I think about my Mom and Dad, just distant memories now.
 
That's a wonderful dream with so much vivid scenary and your dear dog. I'm sorry that it made you feel sad, but how nice to see hi again. The timing of it is very interesting too. What do you make of your husband walking on a different level?
 
What an interesting dream, SB! The title of your post is aptly named "bittersweet", for it truly was. I am also curious abut Bluebreezes question: What do you make of your husband walking on a different level?

It was nice to see him again in the dream, although very briefly, I look at his pictures every day and mention him often in daily conversation, the pup has a lot of his behaviors and sometimes I say that he's being channeled through him. :sentimental:

I just worded that weird, it was the usual unlevel ground that we often encounter when we're out in the wild in real life, a small bank, hill, ridge or incline is often next to land that's a little lower. He was up on a slight hill, but still really close to me, looking out as far as he could see over the across the lake at that moment.

This isn't a great example, but like in this picture you can see the ground goes up on one side and is lower on the other. This was Hans a bit wet and muddy from cooling off in the river stream.

Wow SB, what a neat dream, to be able to once again visit with a beloved animal. I got a lump in my throat over reading about it.

I recently had a very vivid but brief dream about my cat-friend Onyx, who passed a few months ago. I got to pet her one more time, as she jumped up on the sofa to sit beside me, like she did in real life.

Thanks April and Thomas. Onyx was a beautiful cat, I'm so glad you were able to have a dream like that about her, my sympathy....hard to lose these furbabies. Here eyes were so big and beautiful, reminds me of a Burmese girl I had when I was young. :sentimental:
 
Such a wonderful dream. I'm glad you got to see your baby again. I often wonder if when my time comes I will be with my pets again and wonder if they will all get along with one another.I've had a couple of feisty ones so it will be a challenge.
 
Thank you Ruth. I don't know if I believe in an afterlife, but if there is one it should be all inclusive people and animals alike. Would be wonderful to see all of our beloved furkids in one place again, that would be heaven! They will all get along, there's no dominance, jealousy, fear or competition there....just love and peace. :love_heart:
