    A Dream I Had While Asleep, January 20th 2026

    A Dream I Had While Asleep, January 20th 2026     The air in my grandparents’ house tasted of woodsmoke and old memories, a stillness that usually feels like an ending. But then she was there. Marsha. Not as a memory, but...

      • Deep gratitude my friend. This story, based on a dream about my late former wife, was the most emotional dream I have ever had about here. Very glad you enjoyed this, my friend. That means so much to me. Thank you so much.

    • Beautiful piece John. Well written and marvelously executed.

      • Gracias Visions. Very happy you enjoyed this dream story about the visitation from the beyond from my late wife. Thank you from my heart.

    • This is a lovely story. Love this line
      “a reminder that even in dreams, our love carries the weight of our fragility”

      • Thank you so much Fia. Glad you enjoyed this. This vignette was based entirely on a dream I had a couple of nights ago. Much appreciated.

    • Dreams always have some kind of meaning behind them. Trying to figure that meaning out is the hard part. Perhaps the lost dress was a representation of words that were never spoken. Or desires never totally met. The ending is warm and affectionate. As a poet or writer, dreams can be of value, which in this case, was beneficial for a good story with a happy ending. 🙂

      • Tim I love your insights here. Indeed you illuminate he hidden nature of meaning in dreams. Indeed, I do think the lost dress held a meaning. As did the atm machine. I could imagine the atm machine meaning that the love we had was never really about money but that she was looking for something more than what money can buy from me. Thank you so much for sharing your insightful thoughts here. They were greatly appreciated.

    • Beautifully penned, John. Phenomenal imagery my friend. Excellent write. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • Your poem puts me in the mood of sailing and travel, the image of a sailor who is watching and expressing the scenes, keeping it in his head because soon it will only be a memory. There is sadness going along all the lines. Emotionally written.

      • Thank you so much Light for your heartfelt reflections on my poem. Your impressions of my words here are deeply appreciated. Love your interpretation of the mood within my words. Indeed there is a depth of understanding in your thoughts and the feelings my poem inspired for you that really feels right. Deep gratitude.

        John

    • So Lugh watched her bathing, and Bridgette thought it was ok to gaze upon her. That is nice. Then, when they took the boat ride and died together, (aww) At the end, they decided where to be reincarnated, wrapped it up nicely, and the fact that they said the Emerald Isles, I smiled at that.

      • Love your observations on my story my friend. Much appreciated. Yes this was a kind of romance through the centuries. Glad the ending made you smile. Thank you so much.

        John
