Dream
I dreamt about my maternal grandfather. This is very interesting, because he passed away ten years before I was born. I've seen pictures of him in real life, I've been told stories about him in real life, and I've even seen a video of him in real life, but I have never met him, and no known recording of his voice exists. Anyway, in my dream, I'm in the house he built, in the workshop. He's working on something at his workbench. I look in the mirror, and I look like I do in real life: stretched earrings, tattoos, and teal-dyed hair. I become worried that my appearance may be jarring to him, since he was born in the early 1940s and died in the early 1990s. However, I walk up to him anyway, and tap him on the shoulder. He looks at me with a smile, but doesn't say anything. He shows me a pair of brown leather shoes that he's fixing, and a wooden plane. He then takes me into the kitchen, where my maternal grandmother, who passed away when I was 14 years old, has made cookies, pie, and scrambled eggs. My grandparents proceed to waltz around the kitchen, before sitting us all down and beginning the meal. My grandfather and grandmother both remain silent in the dream, but they never stop smiling. This is the happiest dream I've had in years, even though I miss them both dearly. Maybe this is dream is a message, telling me to take it easy, or that everything will be okay.
