I had a bad dream...

I dreamt that my wife was in the hospital for some reason or another, and I was calling her to see how she was doing. When I called, a nurse answered the phone and told me that she was gone. "Where is she?", I asked. The nurse replied, "She died earlier this morning Mr. Barnes. I'm Sorry." I was overcome with grief, and I dropped to my knees and was wailing into the air as I stared up toward the ceiling. I remember thinking in my mind, what am I going to do? I felt lost and very alone. It was quite upsetting. I woke up and everyone was in the bed - Dixie by my side, Spike sleeping up by the pillows next to Mindy, and of course Mindy was out like a light. I felt better knowing that everything was okay, and I went back to sleep.

I told Mindy about my dream and she wondered what dreams about someone's death are interpretted to mean. She sent me a link to some MSN website with common dream themes - and here is what it said about Death:

Dreaming of death can be traumatic but it is actually an indicator of life events. Witnessing a death in your dream usually coincides with major changes in life, like starting a new year of school or moving to a new apartment. Death can illustrate endings as well as beginnings. What can seem unbearably sad as a dream may actually signal positive change.

We both hope the positive change has something to do with selling our condo and moving...
