only in dreams - a podcast by ApocD

This morning, I woke up and turned my alarm off. I work in the afternoon, which leaves me little chance of oversleeping, so I closed my eyes and fell back asleep. In the few minutes that I slept, I had a dream.

In the dream, I was sitting in a room. I can't remember the details, but it was open, and I remember there were several people in the room. They seemed to be mingling, so maybe it was a party, although I have the feeling it was something more like a wedding reception. Anyway, the door opened and an old friend walked in the door. This old friend died (in real life) just over 10 years ago in a car accident. I stared at him and I remember that his face was strange, kind of deformed, but I could tell that it was him. Then, we spoke.

Me: (friend's name), is that you?
Friend: Yes.
Me: But, you died.
Friend: Yeah, I did.
Me: So, this has to be a dream.
Friend: Yeah, it is.

I then told him that I was sorry he had died and I woke up.

I usually don't care for talking about dreams. Hearing about other people's dreams usually bores the hell out of me, but this one was special. Once or twice before I've become aware during dreamsthat I was dreaming, but this was the first time the dream has continued on for any real time after that. I'm curious to see if anything similar happens tonight...
