Dream: I dreamt that my dad (who died four years ago), had been alive the entire time that I thought he was dead. In the dream, he had never really died, and the day we found out he died was just a huge misunderstanding, and we knew that. It felt off. And even though in my dream he had still been alive for those four years, I still felt his absence. It felt oddly familiar, so I’m guessing I’ve dreamt of this before and just couldn’t remember it. I think that the absence I felt in this dream reflects what it was like for me when he was alive. My dad was always around, but absent at the same time. He struggled with addiction, which played a huge part in his “absence”.
