A Flower's Dream.
The dream started off like any other dream. Nothing of importance was
happening. I don't remember what it was originally about, but I do
remember finding myself walking out of a building and into a small
shopping complex. The complex had a small lobby, surrounded on 3 sides by
glass looking outside. There were only two stores off the lobby, Deseret
Industries, and another LDS-related store, but I am not sure which.
I walked into the complex from the side, and passed Deseret Industries.
There was a small line of people formed, I guess to get into the store,
even though the doors were open. I waded through the people and continued
walking towards the other store. I do not believe I intended to go into
the store; it was more like I was heading home, but cutting through the
complex to make it easier.
As I approached the entrance to the other store, I suddenly recognized 3
kids that were approaching me. The first one that I recognized was a
little girl. It took me a moment to place her face, but I quickly realized
that it was Cami, my sister. The other two were my brothers, but they were
all younger, Cami being around 8, the rest an appropriate age. They had
presents with them, and they hugged me as they said "Happy Birthday." I
took the gifts from them and placed them on a wood shelf that was to the
right of me, and gave them a hug. At some point I do remember patting Adam
on the head and saying, "Thanks, son." Weird, but I felt compelled to
mention it here as I write this account.
As my brothers and sister disappeared (I'm not sure how, they just weren't
there anymore) I got a call from my mom. She wished me Happy Birthday as
well, and eventually I asked how it was possible to see my family the way
I had. She said Christina had done it somehow. I don't know who Christina
is, or if I would have met or talked to her (I seemed to be turning to the
left for some reason) because my alarm clock went off, and I woke up a
bit, but I was left with a warm feeling inside.
I must not have completely woken up though. I do remember hitting the
snooze button, and almost immediately, I was back where I had been moments
before.
I continued walking towards the other store. I still had a nice warm
feeling when I noticed a little girl come running out of the door to the
store in front of me. She turned, and with a big smile on her face, ran
toward me. "Mommy, mommy," she said loudly as she jumped into my arms and
gave me a hug. I looked at her, and she was the most beautiful little girl
I had ever seen. She had dark blonde hair, cut at about her neck, and the
most expressive eyes I have ever seen.
She was staring at me with love as I tried to move her into a comfortable
position on my hip. "I love you," I heard her say as I looked down to
figure out why I could not hold her comfortably. I was surprised to see
that I was pregnant, and definitely a woman. My large belly was keeping me
from holding her comfortably, but her being there gave me a warmth that
made it comfortable anyway.
The rest is a little hazy, as dreams can sometimes be, but I do remember
feeling my dream self "smile" and kiss the little girls forehead. I then
"felt" more than saw a man approach. He was radiating the same love that
everyone else I had met in the dream was. Before I was able to look at
him, however, my alarm clock woke me up, and this time I was not making it
back to sleep. I did wake up with the same smile still on my lips and the
same great warmth I had felt still in my heart.
