i am not daniel, i don’t know for sure what these dreams mean, i try to not assume anything in my feelings about these dreams.

since before i was 12 i have had a recurring dream about an angel. I might go a year or two between dreams and then they may come one night after another but the same figure is in them all. The most often dream(and first dream i can remember) is during a picnic of some sort…It reminds me of a church picnic with kids running around and people laughing. Then I see her. {These dreams are special to me and I don’t want to cheapen that by trying to describe her, even if I could, but it is always the same girl and I know her. Not that I have met her before, but I know her somehow…I can’t begin to describe my feelings for her. They are gut wrenchingly joyous when I am with her.} and i follow her across a small, lush green, field to a stream. She floats over it to the other side without even hesitating…But I can’t get to her. For some reason even when i try, I can’t cross the river because i wake up. Sometimes i wake up crying. These versions of the dreams came when I was smaller. In the last several years, the dreams have varied in two ways: either I am able to cross the river and spend time with her, or it is a completely different dream that she just shows up in… When this happens, I have this feeling of incredible familiarity and joy to see her. Some times there is physical contact; a hand on the shoulder or a hand squeeze. regardless of physical contact, there is always a comfort, a knowledge or understanding of unconditional love. Sometimes I still wake up crying…
