First Dream

I had my first dream about Vienne the other night.

I have mixed emotions about it.  It wasn't bad...but it also wasn't everything I had hoped for.

It was a two part dream.  The two parts did not seem connected but looking back, I think that they may be.

Here is what I saw ~

I was in a big crowd...one like you'd experience in the foyer of a church...or maybe a mall.  I knew I was there to find Vienne.  I knew she was there waiting for me.  I was plowing through the crowd and finally came to her.  And she was older.  Not a lot older...but only like a few years older.  Maybe 6 or 7.  She was taller and thinner as her baby face had turned into a child's face.  Her hair was getting darker...starting to look closer to mine.  She was beautiful, as always, in her simplicity.  She was calm and quiet and seemed very mature and knowing.  Her calm and serenity was almost a disappointment to me - I wanted an excited embrace.  Instead, I knelt down and calmly, though fiercely, embraced her and she hugged me back.  Words were not exchanged.  But the feeling was "I am finally here...I am finally with you".

When I woke, yes, the strong impression was that I was in Heaven finally.

The other part of the dream was odd...but somehow connected.  She was not in this part.  I was not inside...not in a crowd.  I was outside on earthen ground.  And, suddenly the ground began to tremble and crack, like in an earthquake, I would assume.  But it was not an earthquake.  As the ground began to crack and split, I looked down between the cracks and there was a form moving beneath, causing the  tremble.  It was the large large body of an oversized serpent.  I never saw it's head...but it's body kept slithering beneath, moving and shattering my foundation.

When I woke from this, my impression was that this was the enemy...who had caused my Girl to be taken from this world and thus shattering every foundation of my world.  It was a nightmarish-feeling dream.  If you know me, you know I have a strong phobia-like fear of snakes.

Interesting, huh?

(Thank you to all of you who have continually prayed for me to dream of her...please keep those prayers up.  I want more.)
