It’s funny how just a “no, I’m not mad at you” will take a huge weight off of your shoulders and make it much easier to sleep!!

I actually had a really interesting dream last night. It started out pretty normally, like I was just doing something with the kids outside. I think the kids were on the trampoline. Anyhow, I decided to go over to the road and check the mail. Nothing too interesting… a Walmart circular, a phone bill, a letter from a guy, a “have you seen me” card, and another bill.

Wait a second, you say, Melanie, getting a letter from a guy?

Yup. The funny thing was that in my dream I wasn’t surprised one bit. Apparently I had been corresponding with him a LOT. Anyhow, I went and sat in the yard, opened this letter, and began to read. Some pictures fell out with it, and I remember the letter was on blue paper. Funny the things you remember! The pictures were gorgeous… a hillside covered in autumn trees, blue skies and big white puffy clouds, this young man and apparently his brother standing under one of those big, old, spread out trees with lots of red and orange leaves. Oh man. For those of you who know what my favorite season is, you know I was in heaven!

And in this letter, he answered a bunch of questions I had apparently asked him, told me a few other things, told a funny story, and asked me some questions in return. And then, at the very end, he said that he and his family had invited me to their house.

I don’t know where he lived, but it was a long ways away, and I got in a train to go there. I mean, I was sitting there in the grass reading this letter, and then all of a sudden I was riding this train through the autumn countryside, then getting off.

Details here are vague. I remember sitting in an old-fashioned kitchen eating something, looking at this young man helping his younger sister (she must have been, like, six) cut something, thinking about what a great person he was. I remember sitting in a huge pile of leaves, like it was a fort. Fall leaves like they don’t have in Oklahoma!

And then a bunch of us were going to go do something fun, I have no idea what, but we were going to do something fun, and I was having an absolute BLAST being included in something like this… and then my sister woke me up and it was morning.

But it was one of those happy dreams you get once in a while… It probably doesn’t mean anything, but it sure put me in a good mood today!
