I’ve heard from others that the dreams would come. Dreams about the deceased. Dreams about death. I’m not really a night dreamer (or if I am, I don’t often remember in the morning.) But last week, when we were up at my brother’s, I dreamed that I’d been diagnosed with some sort of cancer that could only be treated by drinking the milk of a special kind of cow. So I bought the cow, and my church came together to pay for the use of the large area of land it grazed on. Perhaps I was inspired by the green hills we’d been walking Christmas Eve. The dream shook me though. It was so vivid that it stayed with me till now. (The internet tells me that cows in dreams signify nurturing or motherhood, as well as docile nature.)
Last night, I dreamed that Vernon and I were going to renew our vows in a simple ceremony with family around. Afterward, he went missing, and we realized after a few hours that he was probably lost in the woods. Then I woke up, slightly panicked and sad.

So the grief stages move on. Prayers continue. Keep on sharing. You are helping so many.
Allison, one of my favorite paintings I have is the one you did of the head of a cow.
I was thrilled when you gave it to me- The painting is something that has a sweetness
to it……. I look at this painting everyday & I am reminded of you.
There is an endearing nature to cows-
Thank you sweet friend
What a dream… I truly believe vivid dreams are from God. Esspecially ones with vivid colors.
I’ve heard Weddings, in dreams -symbolize-new beginnings…
And when you said, Vernon was in the woods-I thought of the scripture, “We shall be like trees planted along side the river”
So, for what it’s worth…maybe an interpretation could be…his spirit is thriving, being connected to the Living water. As a lush tree planted by the water…
And I’m so sorry that you woke up sad…
I’ll be praying you wake up, feeling loved, hemmed in and hopeful.

Allison,
Just keep on sharing and you will get thru this I believe. I sent one last week to a friend and she said as long as you were going thru the grief that just keep on. You are helping people who you may never know as long as you remain on this earth but you are really helping people get thru the stages of grief. God be with you and bless you in the New Year.
