Thursday - Turns out my nightmare wasn't as bad as I thought.

My mother had dreams that came true. I'm not talking figureatively in a reach-for-the-stars kind of way. At times in her life she had clairvoyant dreams about things that came to pass. I've never had them; the family rumor is that these gifts skip a generation. But I had a dream this weekend that spooked me. If you are the sort to belive in premonistions, this would look a lot like one.

"It turns out that if you die in a dream you don't actually die in real life," I told Jeff on Sunday. "I died this morning in a dream and I seem to be fine. Shaken up, but okay."
