I really don't mean to get deep here. Ask anyone who knows me (Sissy). I don't like mellow music. I don't like downer movies. I mean c'mon, I run 16 miles through hills for recreation! Here's the deal...I have an older sister. I know, family drama:P No, not really. I'm not going to get into why I haven't talked to her in about two years.
Here's the thing. I had a dream last night that she died in a car accident. Worse than that, she was stabbed in the heart with a tree branch! That wasn't the weirdest part of the dream. In the dream, I was driving my car, and she was sitting in the passenger seat. I knew she was dead, and she knew she was dead. We were talking, and I asked her what it was like? She said "it's no big deal". Then she went on to tell me that I should tell her friend Christina to leave Henry. My sister's name is Christine. For the past 10ish years she has been living with a complete user/loser. No, his name is not Henry.
I have no idea what this means? It just kinda weirded me out. The thing of it is, if anything actually did happen to my sister, I would never know. No one in my family has talked to her in years. I don't know if I should call her? Phones work both ways, it's not like she ever calls me. I just don't know how to feel here...thoughts?

Wow.
ReplyDeleteWell Cyn, I'm a firm believer that your subconscious works in mysterious ways. I would take that as a sign. Call her, try to get in touch with her. Someone always has to take the first step, she might be afraid that it's been too long.
wow. Sorry honey, that would have creeped me out too.
Keep us updated.
I agree with Rach.....call her
ReplyDeleteCall her . . . I'm totally with Rachel on this one.
ReplyDeleteOh honey, that's CRAZY! UGH.
ReplyDeleteI would go to the library and find a dream analysis book, and then maybe call her after a few days.
I'm not sure if you could forgive yourself if something DID happen. But also, in my experience, when something like this happens to me, whatever happened has already happened.
So not sure if I'm any use here, but I feel for ya.
(((HUGS)))
call her. i don't know the dynamics. it doesn't really matter. call her. for all you know, she could be having dreams about you and looking at the phone thinking...the phone rings both ways!! make the first move!
ReplyDeleteok...my two cents...going to pack school lunches now!
I had dreams for YEARS that one of my brothers died. Always the same one (I have 3) and many times in different and weird ways. I looked it up in a dream book and it said that dreaming of someone dying meant that you wished no physical harm to them, but that you saw them in a different way. I'm not entirely sure I know what to make of that, but after 5+ years of various dreams and calling him to make sure he was OK, they stopped.
ReplyDeleteI eventually chalked mine up to an overactive imagination that has no other outlet but to make up crazy ass dreams!
I lurk here (love the blog BTW), but am going to de-lurk for this...
ReplyDeleteCall your sister. I can't say that what you dreamed about will happen. Maybe it was just to help you get in touch with her. To help heal your relationship? Or something. I don't know.
What I do know is that 5 years ago, my sister did die in a car crash. We were close, but lived far apart and hadn't spoken for about a month. (I know, not nearly a couple of years) but I still regret not calling her...talking to her, tellng her I loved her. And I miss her tremendously. I'm just saying this as a voice of experience. You would regret not calling her if she did die.
I am sorry about the bad dream, Hope everything works out!
Now back to lurk mode...maybe...
Yuck. I hate bad dreams and they weird me out too.
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone give her a call.
And no more bad dreams for you girlfriend!
hummm, whatever you had for dinner last night, I wouldn't eat again for a while! :-) and yes, that was a deep post following a post about 90210!
ReplyDeleteoh and i think you should call her. someone has to take the first step. keep us posted.
I'd call her. Just to say hi, at least. You don't have to get into anything too deep, except maybe ask her about if she has a friend named Christina, just because.
ReplyDeleteThen... invite her over for Thanksgiving Dinner! :P
I do not know the details.....but If I had a dream like that, it would certainly move me to get in touch with the person. They are obviously in my thoughts.
ReplyDeletehugs!
Dreams are tricky...Good luck figuring that one out!
ReplyDeletewow, that is very intense. i could only imagine it racking your brain and heart. maybe a letter or a phone call to say something like - are you doing ok - ?? couldn't hurt, but since i am not sure why you broke off communication it is hard to say. keep us posted.
ReplyDeleteHonestly? I would probably give her a call. The mind is a powerful thing. Maybe yours is the call she needs...
ReplyDeleteYikes! That is one disconcerting dream. I have no opinion on what it means or what you should do, though. I suck like that.
ReplyDeleteThe dream is really intense and scary.
ReplyDeleteI'd call her. I agree with Rachel, someone has to take the first step - be the better person. May as well be you. She's on your mind somehow, clearly.
If nothing comes of the call, then fine. At least you will always know you reached out.
call. her. Not to meddle, but I guess you invited us to, right? I would just say that although phones do work both ways, you should be ther bigger person on this one. Blood is so much thicker than water. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you have to lose if you call her? And you have the perfect icebreaker with your dream. You don't have to tell her the dream if you don't want to, just say 'I had a dream and wanted to call'
ReplyDeleteIf I had to analyze the dream (which I have no background in) I'd say you want your sister to have a change of heart about something and you would like to facilitate that change. After all, you were 'driving' the car.
Can't wait for the blog after the phone call...you will blog about it won't you?
Coming from someone else with a previously estranged sister. Call her. My take on it is this, something inside you needs the connection.
ReplyDeleteI would call her. Not so much because of the dream but just because you should. I can't imagine being estranged from my sister. The dream is just extra insentive to make sure everything is OK. Someone has to make the first step. Why not you?
ReplyDeleteI hope you get over your icky feeling. I hate bad dreams.
I wish I could help ya out, but my mom raised me to believe life was better after death and that we're just humans roaming the earth with a purpose we may never know...Kinda grim I know. So, I'll just say hi and have a gr8 week *huggies*
ReplyDeleteDo you have an email address for her? Sometimes it's easier reaching out that way than by phone. But reach.
ReplyDeleteI consider myself (as do my family and friends) somewhat of a dream analyst guru, and death rarely means death in a dream. If you haven't had any other dreams that have come true than I wouldn't worry about it.
ReplyDeleteI think your dream is more about you trying to direct your sis in a safer/better direction in life and what you are worried will happen if she doesn't listen to you. And also your loss of control over the situation with your sis (the strained relationship, I mean). So even though you were driving the car (signaling a sense of control) you don't feel you have control (therefore, the accident). Does that make sense?
Of course a phone call never hurt. And if it will make you feel better, call her. :)
Oh, my, that is pretty freaky. I don't have any sibs so I don't understand sibling drama too well (just ask my husband--he has plenty) but I agree with everyone to call her. Those kinds of dreams give me the creepies. . .hope you're having a good day to shake that off!!!
ReplyDeleteHon I'm sorry to ear this sort of distance. This is hard to deal with when it comes to siblings, and I honestly think you should try to get in contact with her.... just for some piece of mind right..
ReplyDeleteI think your subconcious is sending you a message. I think you feel guilty that you haven't spoken to her in two years (for whatever the reasons may be) and you feel like you need to call her.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, the phones do work both ways but that's exactly what she is probably thinking.
Making contact with her would probalby be a very hard thing to do but it might be worth it.
Good luck with whatever you decide!
Ditto-ing everyone else. Find a way to get in touch!
ReplyDeleteI don't talk to my brother either and I have nightmares about him all the time.
ReplyDeleteUnless calling her would cause you serious pain...I'd give it a shot. You'll be the bigger person :)
Someone has to be first to pick up the phone. Do it.
ReplyDeleteIt is my rule that anytime something makes me think of another person in a strong way that I contact that person. I've never regretted following that rule. Go for it and make contact.
ReplyDeleteI've had dreams like these before. Hate them.
those kind of dreams make me feel dirty when I wake up. follow your heart.
ReplyDeleteI would call her.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Reach out ...call her
