Calmness

Every night the littles and I go through this routine of what we would like to dream about.  Connor always picks Papa.  Audrie bounces between princesses and cats.  Every night they tell me I can dream about George.  One of them likes to give me George the cat and one likes me to have George the man.  I'm good with either.  As I have discovered for thirty some years is if I am stressed I dream of George and it has a calming quality to it.  It doesn't have anything to do with real life.  But my dream world seems to cross over and calm my real world and lowers my stress level.  I think.
This week I realized something new.  I am stressed and now I dream of John.  This week was walking on the sand heading to his boat.  And it was sunny and quiet and calming.  Oh.  All my dreams that include John are that way no matter what is happening.  He is also calming.
I totally understand how dreams of George are calming.  Not so sure on John.  John scares me on many levels in real life.  Not enough to stay away from him because I also trust him.  Discovered that when I rode with him to church.  I was completely at ease and I am not completely at ease with anyone else behind the wheel.  Anyway....glad I have safe places and people to dream about to keep me calm during the day.
