I dreamed of my father this morning. We talked on the phone, like we would always do. "Hello Laa" he would say. I miss him, even though.... And today, wouldn't be my day without him. Sometimes I long for that faceless phantom voice on the other end of the line. As much as it fell short of my dearest dreams, it was all I had.

I have similar dreams of my mom calling me. And they seem so real when I wake up. I recall one dream recently where it was my mom calling and the caller i.d. said "Heaven" on it, so I knew it was her before answering it.

That is very touching. I think sometimes dreams are our minds way of keeping those we have lost close to us. It's funny how you and I both dreamt of speaking to our parents on the telephone. I suppose it represents distance in the relationship? Probably so.

My wife brought up an interesting point. What if there really IS a way to communicate via our dreams (telepathic? teleconsious? tele?????) with loved ones that have passed on. Not sure I believe in stuff like that or not, but it kinda put a smile on my face to think something like that was more than a dream.
