A Sweet Dream of Annie

Annie dream walking

 

Last night Annie came to me in my dreams and held my hand.

Dreams have a way of healing us; I was sad yesterday after saying goodbye to Sacha.

Annie walked with me along the river. I had my hand in hers; she talked about roses and how I should pick some from her old garden. She leaned into me as I put my arm around her. She gave me three dried roses.

Laughing, I said, "Hey, remember you used to tell me this was not the moment to cut roses and plant them, let alone dried ones?" 

She smiled,

"Life has a way of surviving, you'll see."

  1. That’s a lovely dream. Perhaps Sacha will be returning to the southern France, northern Italy area and you will be able to see him more often.
    (I just looked at a map out of curiosity and was surprised to see that actually Verona lies latitudinally north of Provence! I didn’t realize that.)

  2. What a special dream and to feel Annie’s eternal love and support is amazing.

  3. Dreams are our soul’s communication to our conscious – not all dreams but I really think the dream you describe our the true connection we have with people who we love or hold dear….this is such a beautiful encounter….very real indeed!

    Powerful. Loved reading all your stories with Annie; so wished to have met her … many transitions in this short life of ours.

  5. Precious. The love of a true friend goes deep, and lasts a lifetime.

    You and Annie, such a magnificent writing team. Beautiful dream story!

  7. I love your stories of Annie and all the joy she brought you and continues to do so in your dreams.
    God bless you Corey. I too am much better at hello’s than a good bye.
    I always say see you soon never good bye.
    Love Jeanne

    How very strange! In my half sleep this morning I was thinking that it would have been so very nice for Annie to have been there for the arrival of the new baby! I guess she is!

  9. Sweet dreams!

    Sweet to hear re Annie. We all miss her.

  11. How great to hear a new story about Annie. I believe firmly that when loved ones who have passed visit us in dreams, it’s really them, not just wishful thinking. I hope someday perhaps you’ll create a book of all your Annie stories, including this one. I think it would be a beautiful tribute to a beautiful relationship, illustrated with your photos taken over the years of you and her.
