Halloween Dreams

[smokingboot]

Three families trying to share a house - it could be done, there were many beds, it was just inconvenient and untidy. I think I know what this is about. It's Dad's families; ourselves, his second wife and daughter and these people in Liverpool. Bro says Dad told him about the latter, but he wasn't to tell Mum. But did Dad actually say that he had two sons, or that someone was trying to claim it? I'll try to clarify for my own sake. Either way, Dad's second wive's sister told Bro that the DNA tests had disproved the claim. Still, I find myself curious. Who are these people? They must have been pretty sure. And why bother? I find myself wondering, and clearly my subconscious does too.

The dream moved on to one lovely thing and one beautiful thing; the lovely thing was the ghost of Gerald Suster as a fresh faced young man with some quality of the ingenue about him. He was enthusiastic, like a student or an apprentice engineer.

The other was a very beautiful animal, perfectly safe and happy, that looked like a cross between a domestic cat and a leopard. Very graceful with a pleasant look on its face, an exquisite, rare and happy creature. It has occurred to me that if there are such things as spirit animals, perhaps mine is a cat, they turn up in my dreams so much. But the truth is, in real life I have 4 and at least 3 of them will join us on the bed throughout any given night, one in particular often purring at me, cleaning my hair, and pranging me with her claws for attention. The wonder would be if I didn't dream of them.
