That is an interesting and comforting shared dream Palmtree.
I remember being told we dont dream in color, well the vivd dreams seem to be in color to me.
I had a simular one too.
I felt someone sit on my bed in the middle of the night, my old reaction would be "oh My! Demons'.
But, I reminded my self, I dont believe in that any more, so I just ignored it and went back to sleep.
In what seemed like a short time, I felt some one sit on my bed again, so unafraid, I looked up.
It was my Brother, he said everything was all right, not to worry about him, or be sad any more.
He had recently died. I had felt it was my duty to keep his memorie alive. Keeping his personal belongings, listening to his music.
Kind of made a shrine for him.
The dream made me realize I needed to let go of this perpetual mourning. I was able to donate his things. accept for the music of couse...:-)
and feel comfortated by this dream visit.
