I had the opposite, so wasn't pleased at all! (Ending in a blood transfusion!)<br /><br />Enjoy having your mother come to visit. Has she been before? How wonderful.<br /><br />Good luck for the writing competition. And well done simply on being brave enough to write something, show a friend, and then submit it. Most of us never get to that stage, so brava!

The hologram idea just appeared out of the blue in my head because I remember how intense it could be and I've read many other people who also feel/have felt the same way, but it's difficult to explain this phenomena to others who haven't been there. <br /><br />Thanks, at times I'm nicely surprised and thankful when I look back and realize just how far I've come. :-)Amelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16792921371964029469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-389217180689999852.post-61586723962827604192016-06-30T22:58:20.239+03:002016-06-30T22:58:20.239+03:00I love your description of the grieving hologram, ...I love your description of the grieving hologram, Amel--I so identify with you.

I can't help but wonder if your subconscious was working through the broken glass metaphor when I read you describe: "Lots of cuts and bruises ALL over me (including my face) and stitch marks all over. Yep, my dream was very much in line with my inner world." It was as if the broken mirrors was the weapon used to attack...sending you peaceful thoughts. xoPamela T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11474998003921896431noreply@blogger.com
