Dream-visit

We’ve been off the grid with no electricity for two days. I could hardly wait to get the power back. Yes the dirty dishes were stacking up, but that was not the reason I so anticipated having power again. I needed to share a dream- visit with you all.

Two night ago, my Dad and I met in the astral. (Dad passed away in 2013.) Daddy asked me to meet him at a certain destination, not specified in the dream, just understood by both of us. I met him there.

The two of us were at times almost as one. But each had our own consciousness. The closest I can come to explain it is: Imagine two people’s shadows. Now change them from black to translucent white and round them out more like Weebles than people.

Our white shadows overlapped at times. But as I said, we each held on to our own consciousness throughout the dream-visit.

At one point we settled on a bench. We looked over the landscape. I said, “Look Daddy! Aren’t the colors magnificent!”

“Yes,” he said, “and look at the dimensions.”

If you have ever seen a greeting card that opens up and up pops a middle section with a cut-out showing a third dimension than you understand what we saw. However, it did not give the impression of a paper trick. It was not fake. It was real and the most glorious landscape. A tall tree to our left might have been an elm in all its glory. Then shorter hardwoods to our left. In front of us was water. Perhaps a river. And beyond that an inclining forest.

The view was more magnificent than anything you can imagine. And the melding of spirits with my Dad was pure love.

My only regret is that, I don’t have the words to share the magnitude of the scene’s beauty and of the all encompassing love.

Sweet dreams, my friends.

As a toddler, Sue Baumgardner made up stories for herself looking at books she could not read and later spun tales for her younger sisters. After she had her own children, she told them tales and eventually wove a new pattern into the fabric of their lives. As the three sat together, one would begin with a story idea of her own. She spoke perhaps a paragraph or two or three, then pointed to the next who would take up the thread and continue with her own evolution of the story line passed to her, until she pointed to the next. The third person wove her own ideas into the story progression. After the three each had a turn, anyone could end the story, in their turn, whenever it felt complete to them. After her children were adults, Sue studied writing, first poetry and then prose. After six semesters in adult education, she was thoroughly hooked on the story art form. Sue continued with dozens of classes, seminars and writing retreats. She studied writing and publishing under the likes of James Patterson, Peter Behrens, and Mark Dawson. As a contributor to the Discover Maine Magazine, Sue received her first check for her prose. Her poetry has been published in The Aurorian. She has six of her paperbacks along with four ebooks published. They include fiction and nonfiction for adults and fiction for Middle Readers. Her very first publishing though began with Greeting Card Universe, where Sue’s greeting cards with verse are sold across the world.
