LJ Idol Week 4, Prompt: The axe forgets, the tree remembers

[mollywheezy]

I have always had very vivid dreams, very few of which I remember. As a child, I had night terrors, and would run down the hallway screaming, usually crashing into my dad in the middle of the hall as he was coming to check on me. He was always the one who came, not my mom. I am thankful to have forgotten the night terrors and only remember my dad’s

*hugs* what a great dream. You'd dad was letting you know he was okay. And trying to do a Tiktok dance, too. :DD Those are the best dreams to have.!

*hugs back* Yes he was! And my dad would probably do a TikTok dance in Heaven because he'd be able to walk, dance, move again. :)

It's a kind and heartening thought, to think they are up there, happy and whole again.

[mollywheezy]

Definitely! :)

Very moving - I rarely remember my dreams, either, but the ones that I do seem to never be of any importance. It's nice that the dreams you remember help you feel loved and at peace. Good work :)

I agree with ragnarok_08, this was so moving and well-written.
One of the best dreams I ever had was during lockdown. I had some really great dreams then, it was like my own mind was trying to comfort me if that makes sense. I was in this beautiful meadow with a lot of trees and flowers and the Beatles were there with me, I was having tea and John was talking to me about this philosophy of the universe and George had this really cute dog we were playing with and petting.

Thank you! :)

That sounds like an awesome dream! :)
