Lucid Lies

I think that this dream, was a procession of grief, and time for you maybe to enjoy a fantasy of hope.
To remember what dreams you had, with grief.. i believe there is healing, and
also i myself.. though i don't know whats after death, only speculation
and reserved personal belief for me...
I can say i have had those dreams too, of loved ones
that have passed, it was my grandfather.
He passed when i was a teen.

Long after I grieved him, as it now even brings tears to my eyes...
I remember that dream, he was large jolly and filled with life.
I was so enamored by his example, and i think
that those that have passed carry on in us,
if we so choose to remember and reverance
them.

It may have been a dream, but to me a dream is just another 
true reality, both relevant and necessary for us.
I have had nightmare and i have had dreams of joy.
But its necessary in some indiscernible way to fully interpret.

But what i hold to my heart, is that I have that memory,
and the emotions i felt in that dream..
I hold on to them when I choose to remember him.
When I have these dreams, and I've lost many family members..
I can only think of how grateful i am truly to have known them.

I am not of any religion, and my own spirituality is not to be shared.
But I will say, its up to you to decide how you see this.
I believe that you had a great love though,
and I can see the mourning, but grieving is
necessary.. It only reminds us
in my understanding...
that we should maybe embody and armor ourselves to ring 
true to those around us.
So that maybe by example when we 
are passed on, we can be pleasantly remembered
through the echoes of time for those that knew us.

We are too well, to me... a part of this humanity.
And I am thankful for this piece.
Its good to share, even anonymously  
 I hope you carry with pride the very fact
that you have this memory of this dream..
even more the memory of your father.

Thank you for this.
