Dreams

It's been awhile since I was awakened in a cold sweat by a TV news dream. The details were about the same as always, except this time it was set in Tulsa, where I briefly worked in the 1980s.

At the end a very dear friend from those days showed up. I haven't seen her, I guess, since the mid-eighties. I put my arms around her and gave her a big hug. "I wish you were really here," I told her. "But you're just a dream." (Sort of like the dream I recently had about my late father.) She nodded sympathetically, and then I woke up.
